WHAT THE OWNER LOVES
- We love sitting out on the bedroom balcony in the early evening with a lovely nor-easterly breeze and being able to hear the rustling leaves and watch the light slowly fade
- The location really is a 'walk everywhere' spot, Village shopping, restaurants, schools and transport are all within an easy walk including the water's edge near North Harbour Reserve
- There is so much character and charm within the house and its definitely low maintenance to look after, which is an added bonus
