16 Whale Road Mount Wellington, Auckland City

Nestled amongst other modern terrace residences in a well-designed community enclave, this lovely 2017 built duplex is the perfect first home or downsizing option for active retirees. Located close to all the essential amenities including Sylvia Park's massive precinct, and a range of other shopping and social activities, the freehold property has formerly been a popular, well-maintained rental and is ready to again be a respectable addition to any investor's portfolio or your own home.

With a 107 sqm (approx.) two storey floor plan, the brick and weatherboard three-bedroom maisonette has spacious and sunny ground floor open plan living and dining complete with wall mounted heat pump. A chic and modern kitchen is neatly integrated and features honeycomb tile back splash harmonising with composite stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances fitted into durable cabinetry. Bifold doors allow for easy flow to access the fully fenced rear courtyard where pets are safe, and the barbecue can be on standby ready to use for the coming summer's entertainment. Upstairs, three bedrooms are well served by a stylish Italianate bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet while the marble-look tile floor attractively extends to bathtub surround. Downstairs a bonus guest powder room is tucked beneath the stairs with separate laundry nook opposite.

An exclusive carpark is at your front door, and the small leafy front yard extends the home's alfresco options. In zone and close for Panama Road School and Otahuhu Intermediate with the full complement of excellent public transport possibilities and southern motorway for car commuters nearby, this is your chance to be close to the neighbourhood action then head swiftly home to relax and go with the flow.
