2/54 Garnet Road Westmere, Auckland City

Tucked quietly down a short drive, this elevated, sun-filled 1980s townhouse is one of those rare homes where you truly can't judge a book by its cover. It's not a shiny new build with tiny rooms and identical finishes - instead, it's a generously proportioned, light-filled home with real space, excellent separation, and surprising flexibility.

One of just three homes on a tightly held cross-lease, it offers peace, privacy and a genuine sense of retreat, while remaining right in the heart of Westmere, close to cafés, village shops, Meola walkways, green spaces and public transport.

The layout is a standout, spread across two well-zoned levels. Downstairs forms its own private wing, with a big double bedroom, bathroom, laundry and a large study that opens to a sunny, beautifully planted courtyard. Ideal as a creative studio, work-from-home space, guest suite, or quiet retreat.

Upstairs is warm, bright and inviting, featuring two generous double bedrooms, a large family bathroom, a modern kitchen and a spacious living area flowing to a northwest-facing deck. From here, enjoy open outlooks, abundant afternoon sun, and glowing sunsets.

The thoughtful separation of spaces makes this home perfect for creatives, professionals working from home, single parents with children part-time, downsizers who still want room for guests, or anyone seeking flexibility without excessive maintenance.

With excellent storage, a generously sized covered carport right by the front door, and a genuine lock-up-and-leave feel, this is outstanding value in a sought-after location.

If you're looking for a home with personality, light, space and a layout that truly works - this is one you must come and see for yourself.
