Karen Spires' Website\n\nA rare opportunity to live your dream at one of Herne Bay's top addresses, this Arts and Crafts do-up is just metres from the beach and surrounded by prestige homes. Three bedrooms, two living rooms and separate dining give you choices for all seasons. Retreat to the formal living area with its beamed ceiling, graciously curved bay window and fireplace, or step from the second living area onto an expansive sunny deck. On a large (697m2), flat, north-facing section with garaging there's potential to extend - all of the hard work's been done for you with plans and consents to add another storey and access wide harbour views. Just move in and congratulate yourself on such a find, on such a creative opportunity. Stroll to the local primary school, or the shops and cafes of Jervois Rd. \nMotivated vendor.\n\nLand size: 697sqm more or less\nFloor Area: 163 sqm more or less\nCV: $1,800,000 Land: $1,430,000 Improvements: $370,000\n\nOpen homes: Sat/Sun 2.15 - 3pm or by appointment\n\nAuction: 2pm, Wednesday 2 March 2011 (unless sold prior)\n4 Viaduct Harbour Ave, Maritime Square\n\nEmail Karen if you would like to be sent:\n- Recent sales in Herne Bay\n- Floor Plans\n- LIM\n- A comprehensive property report which includes Title, CV, LIM, etc. \n\nIf you would like to receive Karen's weekly email newsletter, Karen Spires' Residential News, please email her.

With small city beaches and quiet streets filled with both modern and heritage homes, many with sea views, Herne Bay is one of Auckland's most prestigious suburbs.

Popular Ponsonby Road is a short walk away, and both these areas are known for shopping with a designer edge, as well as their many cafes and restaurants. \n\nTransport:\nFrequent buses run along Jervois Road to the city. \n\nEating Out:\nThere are many restaurants and cafes along Jervois Road and also in nearby Ponsonby Road. From fish and chips to ethnic restaurants to five star dining and a top quality steak house, there is something to suit everybody's taste.
