"I have loved this house since the day I moved in.
After years of renting, and looking for a home for myself and my teenage son, our two cats, and the long-wished-for dog - we absolutely found it here.
What makes this such a wonderful place to live?
It's the beautiful light that comes into the home throughout the year, and onto the private front deck - ideal for morning coffee or late afternoon wine with friends.
It's the character features of a nearly 100-year-old home - the original rimu floors, the family-sized kitchen perfect for casual dining and busy breakfasts, the original interior doors, higher ceilings, and the wood burner warming the home in the cooler months.
It's the three bedrooms, including a generous main bedroom, that have housed so many friends and family over the years.
It's the multiple-use space at the rear of the property, great as a teenage retreat/work from home space with its own kitchenette and toilet, and the art studio/workroom with its walls of original brickwork.
It's the friendly neighbours and sense of community, and access to Anderson Park through the back gate to watch a football game, play tennis while the children are in the playground, have a picnic, or walk the dog.
It's the broad night sky, so rare in the city, the beautiful poplar trees along the park border, and the bird chatter in the front hedge each morning and evening.
It's the practical things like its central location, fenced private garden spaces, carport for storage and garden tools, off-street parking for four vehicles, an affordable supermarket a few minutes' walk away, a great choice of eateries within a short drive, multiple public transport options and easy access to motorways.
And yet with all this, it still offers more potential to the new owner. I hope you will fall in love with this home like I did - come and see it for yourself."
