12 Potatau Street Grey Lynn, Auckland City

After more than three decades enjoying the undeniable charm and coveted location of this distinctive two-storey villa, the owners are ready to pass on their much-loved piece of Grey Lynn.

Elevated and sunlit, this characterful corner residence has even earned a place in Big House, Small House: New Homes by New Zealand Architects, featuring the work of renowned architectural photographer Patrick Reynolds.

There's a vibrancy throughout, with comfortable living and dining spaces complemented by a practical galley-style kitchen opening to a sun-soaked courtyard garden, setting the scene for relaxed summer entertaining and alfresco dining.

The bathroom makes its own design statement, pairing Spanish-inspired mosaic tiles with louvres and polished concrete floors. A considered colour palette adds personality and cohesion throughout.

Upstairs, three carpeted bedrooms, two of which enjoy views to the Waitakere Ranges. There are two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, while the third offers flexibility as a work-from-home office, second living or bedroom.

Residents' parking (on AT application) adds everyday convenience and an existing vehicle crossing and vehicle gate provide the platform for dedicated off-street parking.

For urbanites, the location is hard to beat. Ponsonby Road, K Road, the CBD and major transport links are all within easy reach, while Newton Central School is just a stroll down the road.

For character lovers and those seeking an entry into Auckland's sought-after central suburbs, this is an opportunity with plenty of soul, ready for its next chapter.
