A dream come true for those of you looking for that elusive entry level townhouse on the northern slopes of arguably Auckland's most expensive suburb, Herne Bay, why not start at the top.

On offer for the first time in over twenty years is this two bedroom, one bathroom with secure parking, located within the tightly-held Hamilton Mews enclave.

Positioned towards the rear of the site and down an established tree lined private driveway. Once inside there is a sense of peace and tranquility. The bi-folds provide a sense of lightness opening onto a paved private secure courtyard that leads to a lovely central common area.

This freehold solidly built property was constructed in the 1970s with breeze blocks, wooden joinery and a tiled roof. It is currently undergoing a wee make over, but ripe for further enhancement.

So well located to everything, walkable to all your favourite places, wonderful cafes and shopping along Ponsonby and Jervois roads and the kicker has to be Hamilton Rd beach at the foot of the road.

A perfect start for the first homers, a sensible solution if you're downsizing and amazing "lock n leave" option.
