17 Tautari Street, Orakei, Auckland

Time-honoured treasure

Simple and solid 1930's brick home with enormous possibilities.

Positioned on almost 1000sqm in this quiet leafy street with a glimpse of Rangitoto from the front room; adding another level will unlock a stunning view.

It has been meticulously maintained for the last 26 years, from the concrete tile roof to the solid native timber floors, including the very tidy original joinery. The modernised interiors with open-plan living and the addition of French doors to a sunny deck were completed in 2011 without compromising the architectural integrity of its era.

The location offers unrivaled lifestyle benefits, the list is long but to name a few, it is so close to some of the city's best swimming beaches and foreshore reserves including Bastion Point which has to be the best viewpoint of the Harbour and Rangitoto. The city centre is so accessible with a 5 min walk for a bus to Britomart. Great local cafes, eateries, and shops are just around the corner, and the popular Orakei Basin Village and Eastridge are less than a 5-minute drive.

The current owner has cherished the feeling of space and the quiet peace from this dependable home in such a fabulous location. But their retirement unit has been secured and now there is no time to lose. Come and see this rare opportunity - what would you do with it?

Live in it and love it for now and make plans to realise the huge future potential.
