Is it truly possible to purchase a slice of island paradise without breaking the bank? Apparently yes! Welcome to 32 Ferry Parade, a property radiating charisma with the potential to become something much more. You'll discover this gem on the corner of Ferry Parade and George Avenue in its own sunlit garden of Eden. Anchored on this section is an original 1950s-built cottage, a garage converted into a sleepout, and an external office. Magic is all around, but you could create your own magic here too, with two road frontages and 812m2 land to dream on. Reenvisage the spaces to suit your aspirations or build the home and income of your dreams. With good bones, the cottage is mostly original, offering two flexi-bedrooms and modern amenities in the open-plan kitchen. Cosy and dry, there is a heat pump, a wood fire and an HRV, too! There is even an outdoor tub on the porch when a soak in nature is needed. The sleepout is a handy space for working from home or for teens. And the external office is nestled toward the front of the property, offering tranquility for a mindful yoga space. Oh so close to the water's edge at Christmas Beach and the boat ramp, this position is something of an escape, with just the right distance maintained between the surrounding suburb amenities and the city. You've got everything to fulfil that permanent, holiday-vibing lifestyle - Herald Island is Auckland's best-kept coastal secret! It's been some 50 years since this legacy sanctuary was available for sale. You can break island ground without breaking the bank, but only if you act on this opportunity with haste.
