2/3 Marydale Drive, Mount Roskill, Auckland, 1041, New Zealand

With the peace of mind of brick and tile plus elegant accents of timber weatherboard, this 1960s duplex represents astute buying in a fantastically central location. If size and affordability are at the top of your list, then you must be quick to view 2/3 Marydale Drive in Mount Roskill.

Boasting approximately 130m2 of floor area over two levels, this retro superstar is generous on the footprint. Here you have an expansive living and dining area flowing to an elevated west facing deck with divine views across to the Waitakeres – the perfect spot for sundowners with friends and family.

The kitchen is light filled and spacious with generous storage and work surfaces. The bedrooms are both doubles and there is a spacious flexi room which functions as an office or rumpus. The tiled bathroom is a delight, there is covered off street parking for two vehicles and a low maintenance garden wraps around the property.

This is the best the city fringe has to offer and it’s in zone for Waikowhai Intermediate, Waikowhai School and Lynfield College and within easy reach of shops and the SH20 network.
