There simply aren’t enough properties in Auckland that are suitable for first-home buyers and this little gem is sure to attract lots of interest.

Located in a quiet spot that’s close to amenities, 5 Cretian Crescent in Henderson offers three bedrooms, a smart bathroom, modern kitchen – with potential to upgrade and add value, a separate laundry and a garage.

The living area is bright and spacious, and the property has been redecorated throughout to a very high standard, with near-new carpet.

Diego Traglia, from Harcourts Massey North, who is marketing the property, says that this home is “100% suitable” for a family or an investor.

“It’s a single level brick and tile home, on a fully fenced section and it presents so well you can simply move in and enjoy it. The current owners have really loved it here and they’re a bit sad to be moving on. It’s easy to maintain and there’s no DIY needed, so your weekends can be yours to enjoy,” he says.

Traglia says that the layout of this house works particularly well. “The living areas are very well connected.”

If a new owner happens to want to develop the garden further, there’s plenty of scope for doing so on the 451sqm section. Potentially they could also add a simple deck as a spot to relax and dine al fresco on in summer.

While the house certainly has a lot going for it, the location is another big attraction too.

The local train station is just five minutes drive away, offering regular services and the property’s also close to the North Western Motorway, via which Auckland is around 25 minutes by car – outside of peak times. Bus services are frequent, and the bus stop is very handy. Henderson Central is only about 7 minutes drive away for excellent shopping, and nearby parks include McLaren Park, Parrs Park and Forest Hill Park.

5 Cretian Crescent is close to good schools. The street is quiet and friendly, and the neighbourhood children play happily and safely together. Residents keep an eye out for each other, and there’s always someone to feed the cat during holiday time.

Traglia says that interest in the property has already been intense and suggests that potential buyers should act quickly.

The house is to be sold at auction on May 7.
