120 Norman Lesser Drive St Johns, Auckland City

Properties like this one are rare in this part of Auckland good size section zoned and encompassing a sizeable two-storey 1980s family residence ripe for the picking. Those who have an eye for renovation and a vision to make this shine once more will see the potential in the brick and tile pedigree. Its mellowing interior could do with a bit more razzle-dazzle - making it the perfect family home or investment property.

The main floor has a sunny north-facing aspect and good flow outdoors to decks and gardens. The elegant formal lounge has a brick fireplace and decorative plaster mouldings adding a touch of glamour. The family room and spacious dining area flank the original timber kitchen and on the ground floor a large rumpus room - or 4th bedroom - has outdoor access to the lawns. Double bedrooms share three bathrooms with master ensuite and the laundry is located within the ground floor internally accessed double garage.

A ton of off-street parking and excellent access from the street adds to the positives.
On the horseshoe that wraps the north-eastern corner of Waiatarua Reserve, the nearby green spaces of Remuera Golf Course, Colin Maiden Park and Mt Wellington add up to a range of community leisure activities to tap into. Close to shopping precincts, a handy 20-minute commute to the CBD, and in zone for St Thomas School and Glendowie College, this is an opportunity too good to miss whichever way you look at it
