There's no place like home

Russian model Irina Shayk once said that "nothing is more pleasurable than going home to family, eating good food, and relaxing". We all love holidays, and as we return home from summers by the beach, kicking off our jandles and replacing them with our work shoes, there are surely places you would rather be in this moment. But home is the best place to be. Home is where we raise our children and watch them grow, where we tinker and improve and build our lives.

Nestled on the corner of Shore and Seaview Road, set back from the road, this charming post modern home was built in the 1980s, the time of efficient architecture that suited the informal and carefree lifestyles we Kiwis pride ourselves for.

The two storey home has three generous bedrooms, options for an office and two bathrooms, ensuring that the early morning rush to school and work isn't a battle for basins and showers!

Your first stop on the weekends will likely always be the Shore Road Cafe across the road to grab a latte or flat white from Ken the barista before taking the children or dog for a walk around Bloodworth Park.

For your day-to-day's you have the growing hub of Newmarket and the ever-trendy Parnell on your doorstep, as well as the CBD just a short 15-minute drive away. For those who have - or are thinking of having - children, you couldn't find a better range of schools on your doorstep, from Victoria Ave Primary to our prized Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls.

If you're looking for a home in a wonderful neighbourhood - where you will actually know your neighbours - and can access the best schooling in the country, as well as the best parks, shops and cafes, then look no further. There couldn't be a better place to call home.
