ID#312389 - Mt Eden, Auckland City

Sitting in a prime location on a quiet street, this transitional villa could be just what you're looking for. A charming home, it offers you plenty of opportunity to renovate, restore and add value whilst retaining many original features you won't want to change. You will adore the stunning and intricate pressed metal ceilings which add a unique touch of class, not to mention this home's endearing presence from the road as it flaunts its bay-window and detailed architraves.

Tempted by an array of mouth-watering restaurants and cafes nearby, you may find it a struggle to simply stay home and cook. Fortunately, when you do have friends and family over, you have a large sun drenched, north facing backyard to entertain them. Fully fenced, it is safe for kids and ideal for barbecues and get-togethers.

But family living doesn't stop in the backyard, and neither does the word 'sizeable'. Inside offers four sizeable double bedrooms plus a generous living room with an open fireplace.

The vicinity has heaps to offer being located between Dominion Road and Sandringham Roads with their variety of restaurants and bars along with those close by in Kingsland and Mt Eden, the close vicinity to Eden Park, such easy access to CBD, close to St Lukes Shopping and Cinema Centre, very close to the decile 9 Balmoral School, and within Mt Albert Grammar School and Auckland Girls Grammar School zones.

If you are seeking a character home with a large sunny backyard and lawn area with the potential to renovate, restore and add value...this is the one.

We were very fortunate to have Margaret as our agent when we sold recently. Unlike some agents who appear to work hard only to gain a listing, Margaret worked tirelessly on our behalf. She was always reliable and prompt and kept us well informed about what was happening. Most importantly, we knew she was someone we could trust and we have been recommending her to our friends.

I think that you only get the measure of a person when the chips are down, and I think the sale of my property must have been one of the most difficult sales possible. You showed your true colours, grit and sales skills and I whole heartedly recommend you to anyone considering an estate agent.
Vendor - S Turner

Your advice on preparing our home for sale was a great help. You kept us updated on each weekly open home and took full control of the process for us.. You took all the pressure off us and went that extra mile. We would not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends.

Dear Robin

Thank you for the very committed and efficient way you dealt with the sale of our home. Being first time home sellers the process was very unknown to us and your guidance and assistance made what could have been a complicated and stressful process smooth very successful.

We did not give you an easy task due to our very limited timeframe to achieve the sale but you designed a very effective campaign to suit, keeping us involved at all times. The photography, information sheet and media advertising were carefully tailored to attract the right buyers.

The response at Open Homes far exceeded others in the locality and after a few short weeks we were in the fortunate position of having been presented with 3 good offers, each approximately 20% more than the CV.

We appreciated being kept fully informed at all times, the regular contact and your weekly reports. You were at all times totally professional, very competent and we were very satisfied with your services. You really came through for us, we don't believe that anyone else could have achieved the results we achieved and for that we are truly grateful.

I have given your details to friends and family and will continue to recommend you to anyone planning to sell their home. When we return from abroad and are looking to return to the property market you will be the first person we contact..

Thanks again.
Petrina and Stephen
