4/130A Shackleton Road, Mount Eden, Auckland

Set within a tightly held boutique block of just five, all owner-occupied, this is one of those positions people arrive at and simply don't want to leave. And then there's the sun. Glorious, all-day sun. North-facing at the front, start your days with expansive decking and a generous viewline stretching all the way to the Waitakere Ranges. At the rear, a second deck and sweet backyard area catch the afternoon sun from the west - the perfect spot for a summer BBQ, a glass in hand and nowhere else you particularly need to be.

The location seals the deal. Cazador, Gray's and the fabulous Dominion Road food scene are moments away, with Mt Eden Village also within easy reach. You're zoned for popular Maungawhau School and Mount Albert Grammar, with everything that makes this pocket of Auckland so enduringly desirable right on your doorstep, not to mention easy public transport options into the CBD.

Inside, original timber wall panelling positively glows with 1960s good vibes. It's cool, characterful and refreshingly authentic - a home with its history still very much intact. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, each with wardrobes, along with a tidy kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Healthy Homes compliant, it's comfortable, stylish and timeless.

A generous under-house basement provides excellent additional storage, while two off-street car parks are another increasingly rare city-fringe bonus.

Held and loved by our current owners for an extraordinary 40 years, this mid-century gem has the kind of warmth and personality you simply can't manufacture.

An ideal first home, a clever investment, or perhaps the petite retreat that lets you stay in the neighbourhood you love without buying more house than you need.

Original. Sunny. Soulful. Held for 40 years for very good reason.

A treasure. Let your next chapter unfold here.
