This north-facing brick and tile unit is the perfect first home or investment for a savvy buyer. It's been stylishly modernised inside and comes with its own singe garage and off-street park, creating a comfortable, easy-care lifestyle in a super convenient location.

A well-connected North Shore hub, the sunny slopes of Hillcrest are loved for their excellent proximity to local amenities. Velma Road's well-established neighbourhood is close to Northcote Town Centre, Pak'nSave, Glenfield Mall, Smales Farm's business, dining and transport centre, AUT's North Campus, Takapuna Golf Course and motorway onramps. Families will also love the school zoning, which includes Sunnybrae Primary, Takapuna Normal Intermediate and highly sought-after Westlake Boys and Girls High Schools.

An elevated position at the front of the section, combined with the favourable aspect, means the home is flooded with light and sun all day. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area has large picture windows to enhance the sense of space, with the HRV system ensuring a warm and dry living environment all-year-round. The separate laundry is located just off the modern kitchen, while both double bedrooms overlook the garden and are serviced by the bathroom. Outside, there is space for little ones to play on the shared lawn area.

Solid bones, combined with light, modern interiors, make this an excellent investment in a very convenient location.
