EASY LIVING OUT WEST
This well-appointed light-filled townhouse is ideal for those seeking a simple lock-up-and-leave lifestyle, writes LOUISE RICHARDSON
If you’d love a brand new home, but don’t have time, or the resources to build from scratch, 10 Godley Rd offers five recently-completed executive, townhouses designed to appeal to families, situated in leafy Green Bay, with expansive golf course views.
Bobby Sapra from Shelter Homes, says that the corner site was originally an established home, where its owners had lived for over 40 years, and there was also a minor dwelling on the section.
“Making good use of the land, we were able to build five homes, with two having independent access from Cleve Rd, while the other three share a driveway on Godley Rd.”
He says the weatherboard properties have been well-built, using quality materials.
“They have Colorsteel roofs, full insulation in the walls and ceiling, and Bosch appliances in the kitchen.”
10A is very well-appointed with its four bedrooms and three bathrooms set over two levels, and it’s also very easycare.
The combined kitchen, dining and living areas are light and bright, and the bathrooms are classic and timeless. Two are en suites, while the family bathroom lies on the ground level, and the laundry is incorporated into the single, internal-access garage.
The principal bedroom is complemented by a luxury walk-in wardrobe and the pleasant neutral colour scheme throughout the home provides a good backdrop for any style of furniture. A sunny courtyard is perfect for morning coffee or entertaining in summer, with al fresco meals from the barbecue.
“It’s ideal for busy people who want a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle,” says Sapra.
He’s seen significant interest in the properties from firsthome buyers and young families, and price feedback pegs the homes, on their neat approximately 245sq m sites, at around $950,000.
This pocket of West Auckland has experienced significant expansion in the past decade or so, and Godley Rd is ideally situated for amenities such as Green Bay Beach and the well-regarded Green Bay Primary School.
Also nearby are Craigavon Park and Shadbolt Park which is home to the local rugby club.
LynnMall has recently been extended and now offers many new shops, cafes and restaurants, along with a supermarket and a cinema.
New Lynn is also home to gyms, and other sports facilities and Titirangi is an easy drive away, with its beaches, forest walks, galleries, weekend markets and other attractions.
Sapra says that the properties’ best selling-point, is the fact that potential buyers can move in straight away and enjoy the benefits of a quality new home without any hassles. Sale: Price by negotiation
