Best Bits From the Vendor:
"Coming home down the drive is like your own gateway to your secret garden. We have absolutely loved raising our family here, watching the Tui feed just an arms length away from the master bedroom window, and listening to the dawn chorus of birds across the valley in the mornings. It is such a warm, lived-in home, and the fully fenced yard has been perfect for keeping the dog safe while we host backyard BBQs. People often say Auckland can make you feel anonymous, but the sense of community within the Torbay and Long Bay area, and especially with all our neighbours, is something very special that we are really going to miss. Plus, being in zone for excellent local schools like Long Bay School and College has just made family life here so easy."
Lifestyle & Location:
Torbay has a distinct, community-focused vibe that makes day-to-day living incredibly easy. From here, you are just minutes away from local shops, decile 10 schools, and handy bus routes for a straightforward commute. On the weekends, the lifestyle really shines. Whether it is a morning walk at Long Bay, a swim at Waiake, or grabbing a coffee at a local beachside cafe, everything that makes this coastal suburb so popular is right on your doorstep.
With the vendors focused on their move up north, this home is ready for its next owners to step in and enjoy the privacy and location. Come along to the open home this weekend and experience the feel of the space for yourself.
