15 Temata Lane Wai O Taiki Bay, Auckland City

Light, modern and wonderfully easy to live in, this three-bedroom home combines a sunny north-facing garden with elevated views across the Tamaki Estuary, all from a quiet position near the Glendowie border.

Built by GJ Gardner Homes in 2018, the home offers approximately 133sqm of floor area on a 174sqm freehold site, with the balance of a Halo Building Guarantee providing added reassurance.

Downstairs, high-stud ceilings give the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area a lovely sense of space and light. Open the doors and life extends outside to the private north-facing courtyard and garden - sunny, sheltered and just the right amount of outdoor space to enjoy without spending your weekends maintaining it.

The kitchen is generously specified, with modern appliances, soft-close drawers, a double plumbed fridge space and recently replaced dishwasher. A separate laundry is a welcome inclusion, while a guest WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master has its own ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, heat pump and access to valuable roof cavity storage, while both the master and second bedroom enjoy an outlook across the Tamaki Estuary. Underfloor heating in both bathrooms is another thoughtful touch.

Double glazing, two heat pumps, quality window furnishings, a storage shed and a carpeted internal-access garage add to the comfort, along with an additional off-street car park.

Temata Lane is a quiet pocket of contemporary homes with the Tamaki Estuary at the end of the street and the Wai O Taiki Bay Nature Reserve and walkway close by. You're near the Glendowie border, with local shops, cafés and transport connections within easy reach, while the Eastern Bays are only a short drive away.

Modern, sunny and beautifully presented, with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and those unexpected estuary views - 15 Temata Lane is an easy place to see yourself living.
