Two double bedrooms offer good proportions and wardrobing, complemented by a bathroom with separate toilet. The bathroom is ready to add further value if desired or just roll with the retro.

A carport provides off street parking, and you're in zone for Owairoa Primary, Howick Intermediate and Howick College. Located just a short walk to the main bus routes and the best of Howick Village life with its great shops and cafés, you could not ask for a more perfectly positioned launchpad.

This is one of those rare opportunities that hits the sweet spot between potential and position. Whether you're downsizing, investing or dreaming big on a do-up, here is your window of opportunity.
