Lochend Place, Highland Park, Auckland

Enjoying the flow-on effects of a parklike setting, this superb brick and cedar family residence offers a unique perspective in the heart of the eastern suburbs. Fronting the estuary track on an exclusive enclave, the perfectly oriented property sits at the furthest end of a tranquil cul-de-sac right-of-way. This gorgeous nature space attracts native birds, particularly tui which visit to feed on the flax flower nectar and dart in and out of the trees bordering the Botany Creek inlet. 

A thoughtful 170 sqm (approx.) floor plan feels much bigger with spatially generous layout and easy flow through a number of exits to sunny outdoor areas. The 1990s provenance is still discernible although tasteful modernisations have been applied over the ensuing decades. Offering scope to add more value with further improvements, the home is nonetheless eminently liveable as it is. A warmly carpeted formal living room has heat pump for winter chills and outdoor access where the covered deck provides the idyllic summer spot to enjoy the view. A well configured kitchen with picture window incorporates all the essentials and flanks a sunny dining area with doors to wraparound decking extending alfresco options. Carpeted double bedrooms include master with outdoor flow, heat pump, walk in wardrobe and spacious ensuite, while the main family version has bathtub, shower, and powder room toilet separate. Double internal access garaging comes with ample off street parking for at least two more vehicles within a beautifully landscaped 651 sqm (approx.) section complete with potting shed to stow the gardener's tools. 

Close to Lloyd Elsmore Park and handy for Pakuranga Golf Club, the property is minutes from Highland Park shops, excellent schools, and main arterial commuter routes. This idyllic setting is sure to capture the attention of first home buyers, investors, young families, and downsizers wanting a peaceful lifestyle in a close-knit and welcoming community.
