3 Verdant Lane, Mt Wellington, Auckland

Parkside with a garage!

Quietly tucked away on a private laneway, this exceptional freehold home is one of Richmond's most unique offerings — a 2-bedroom 2-bathroom terraced residence with its own garage and direct access onto the secret garden pocket park. Secure, discreet, and beautifully positioned, this hidden gem won't last long.

Spanning an impressive 118sqm (approx.), offering a sense of scale seldom found in this category. Dual entry from the secure garage or the fully fenced west-facing courtyard with a lush green backdrop for soaking up the afternoon sun.

Step into a contemporary open-plan living and kitchen space, featuring a custom-built media cabinet, industrial-style floating kitchen shelves, and wood-look vinyl flooring that enhances both flow and durability.

The spacious layout continues upstairs with a generous primary suite - a room with a view overlooking the park, complete with a walk-through wardrobe, ensuite and a dedicated study nook. The second bedroom and bathroom are equally proportioned, making it the ideal setup for professionals, guests, or shared living.

Comfort is assured with a heat pump in the living room, while both bedrooms enjoy ceiling-mounted ducted heating and cooling, complemented by ceiling fans for year-round comfort. You'll sleep easy, cocooned in low-maintenance brick and double-glazing, with the remainder of a 10-year Stamford Building Guarantee (from Nov 2020).

You don't have to compromise on storage, with a super-sized storage cupboard upstairs, attic pull-down stairs, and shelving and bike racks in the garage.

At your doorstep, the wider Richmond community offers something truly special, with a Residents Association that safeguards the value of your home and ensures the community thrives for years to come. Meander through private laneways where you'll discover five pristine pocket parks, a children's playground, a Zen-style rock garden, a gymnasium, and a community clubhouse.

Located in a rapidly developing area, moments away from Sylvia Park shopping centre, where you can furnish your new home with IKEA. Only 12km from Auckland CBD, 1.5km to State Highway One, 3km to Sylvia Park Train Station (with park-and-ride), 4.8km to Middlemore Hospital, and 13km to Auckland Airport.

An outstanding entry into the Richmond community, this home will appeal equally to first-home buyers, professionals, downsizers, and investors seeking quality, security, and something genuinely different.
