23B Speight Road Kohimarama, Auckland City

Within a desirable seaside neighbourhood, this elevated 1970s era brick unit delivers something special for dreamers of the coastal lifestyle. Just one street back from Kohimarama beach for a daily swim or stroll on the boardwalk or to pause and meditate on the tideline at sunrise, this property has all that's good for the soul.

An interior décor of soft neutral tones complements the 100 sqm (approx.) layout where there is still scope to refurbish and add value if wanted. A ground floor foyer has stairwell connecting upstairs where a hallway with boxed skylight runs the full length of the unit before opening out into the dining area and a spacious lounge with heat pump. Oriented to maximise natural light, north facing living has ranch sliders stacking back to merge the indoors with a narrow concrete balcony - perfect for sun loving potted plants and delivering soothing cross ventilation in summer. The stylish kitchen incorporates stainless steel dish drawer, lots of cabinetry, and composite stone benchtops while the timber sill servery enhances dinner guest interaction. Both comfortably appointed double bedrooms have built in closets and additional cloakroom storage is in the hallway. The bathroom has shower and vanity with toilet separate and a laundry room also configured separately. The unit comes with allocated double garaging situated at the rear of the property.

Located conveniently for Kohimarama's excellent amenities and bus routes, the easy commute to the CBD will especially appeal to busy professionals. This is the ultimate lock-and-leave option also for active retirees and out-of-town folks wanting a city base. A few steps from Kohimarama Tennis Club and Madills Farm Reserve, the coveted location offers Kohimarama School, St Ignatius School and Selwyn College zoning while cafes, bars, and boutique shopping is found in neighbouring bays. This attractive unit fits the frame in all the best ways, so move quickly and put yourself in the picture.
