WARNING: Proceed with caution. Viewing this property may cause intense daydreaming, heart palpitations, and spontaneous offers.
Why? Because this is more than just a house - it's your fantasy life made real.
Who are you? You are parents to a couple of kids (and maybe a pet or two). Your family is altogether beautiful and you deserve a home to match.
You yearn for a magical place to call home - one you fear may not exist. But it does. Welcome to 42A Athens Road - your private paradise in the heart of the city.
Let me paint a picture of what life could be like...
You wake to birdsong in your luxurious first-floor master suite. You saunter downstairs and pour a filter coffee - brewed in your dedicated coffee bar.
You soak up the subtropical microclimate in your private gardens - at peace as the sunrise lights up the expansive outdoor living and dining area.
The kids wake and you join them around the kitchen counter. You effortlessly whip up breakfast and lunches in the elegant, practical galley kitchen - built by renowned Peter Hay, complete with perfectly placed Fisher & Paykel appliances.
Even here you are surrounded by greenery - helping you stay Zen despite your children's reluctance to get ready and incessant bickering.
Once you usher them out the door you pause to admire the extensive (read: totally over the top) floor-to-ceiling cabinetry wrapping around your open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space.
Replete with built-in desk and two full-sized lockers (one for the grown-ups, one for the kids). Storage so impressive it makes your inner Marie Kondo jump for joy - even a mild hoarder can maintain minimalist appearances.
You round the corner to the ground-floor kids wing. Two stunning double rooms - with built-in shelves, desks and extensive floor-to-ceiling cupboards.
One kid even has a walk-in wardrobe and built-in TV cabinet. Lucky bugger.
As you do a superficial tidy of these gorgeous rooms you pinch yourself - just to make sure it's not a dream.
You float past the generous main bathroom (oversized shower, separate toilet) through to the freshly carpeted double garage.
You throw on a load of laundry in the separate laundry zone, squeeze in a quick workout in your garage gym, then head upstairs for a shower, tossing your workout clothes into your hidden built-in laundry hampers.
It all just feels so right.
You select an outfit from your designer wardrobe. You've had to buy more clothes - because it's just so enormous. Only another five pairs of shoes and you'll finally fill the shoe cabinet!
You sit (or stand) in your dedicated office - ready to take on the world.
At lunch you take the dog for a walk in Cornwall Park - a mere 700 metres away - meandering down Twin Oak Lane, heading back through the meadows and sheep.
This is the life you deserve.
Not only is this property superb, it's just minutes from anything that matters - the most convenient location in all of Auckland.
So, don't delay - step inside this tropical wonderland at the next open home and see it for yourself.
