1/85 Beach Road Mellons Bay, Manukau City

Character cottages tend to exude an irresistible charm and allure that draws us in to enjoy timeless craftsmanship and cosy comfort with this home being a wonderful example of both.

Tucked in behind the fence and sheltered from the street, creating a private oasis, this one level weatherboard cottage has been restored, refreshed and thoughtfully extended to offer spacious open plan living around the hub of a smart new kitchen and the fireplace for winter.

In summer, the doors can be pushed back so that the courtyard and living space becomes one. Entertaining in the courtyard garden in summer, or curled up by the fire in winter, this is a home to experience the natural ambiance of its surroundings and to enjoy the benefits of a prime location. With close proximity to the beach, an easy walk to Howick Village with its cafes, markets and the excellent school zones of Mellons Bay Primary, Howick Intermediate and Macleans College, this home is positioned to deliver the best of all lifestyles.

Offering a breath of fresh air with the thoughtful renovation recently completed, on offer is a charming cottage with extras.

Location, location - you should always buy location but especially when you can combine this with a large amount of charm.
