Flatmate(s) Wanted- rent reduced

Megan from Ponsonby

FABULOUS FLAT IN POSH PONSONBY 
Arguably Herne Bay (off Jervois Rd), quiet, architecture, views, gardens

This half-share of a large half-villa may be for you!

AVAILABLE NOW!

Nearby: 
Bars, restaurants, shops, public transport, all within 5-10 minutes walk.  4 (soon 5) supermarkets within 5min drive.  Or take leisurely stroll to parks, beaches, or amongst the most expensive houses in Auckland!
Close to CBD and inner city suburbs.  

This half villa has excellent insulation, heating and ventilation, so is cool in Summer and warm in Winter.  Double glazing & new front & rear decking is pending.

Your bedroom is off front hall at street level, and overlooks West facing private garden with cherry blossoms in Spring.  This is a gracious, former drawing room with a huge bay window (fireplace likely to be removed).  This room is ~18m2 which is about 3 x a double room in the CBD!  (The high ceilings make it look smaller in the photos).

You also have your own full bathroom with shower over bath.  This room is ~12m2 (again 3 x as big as a bathroom in CBD!)

High ceilings add to sense of spaciousness.

Also at street level are the full kitchen, open plan to dining and lounge (with skylight and heat pump).   This opens onto a generous East facing balcony which captures morning and evening sun.  

Below the kitchen is my bedroom and below the living room is my study/daughter's room (separated by our own downstairs bathroom), so we each have privacy.

Below the stairs is a laundry with front loading washing machine, tub, and dryer.

Below the East facing balcony is a courtyard, and beyond that, a good sized rear garden with a vegetable garden tended by landlady neighbour in exchange for our kitchen scraps.  The rear garden is shared with the neighbours and has a washing line.

RENT: $295 pw (was $320pw)
EXPENSES: $30pw single
$40pw couple

PARKING: On quiet street

ABOUT YOU:

Compatible values
  
SUPPLIED:
You need only furnish your bedroom, and I might be able to help out there if you have no furniture at all.
