4/15 Lonsdale Street, Ellerslie, Auckland City, Auckland

At the quiet end of this cul-de-sac street, you'll find a family enclave hiding Ellerslie's best-kept and tightly held secret: 4/15 Lonsdale, a three-bedroom home that is as pretty as a picture.

While a picture tells a thousand words, a home can tell a thousand stories, and what lovely family tales this cedar and brick beauty has shared over its 30 years. With its colourful English-country gardens reflected against immaculately kept interiors that encourage connection to the enchanting private alfresco spaces, there is something quite heavenly to be discovered here.

A delight in the afternoon sun, the open living, which joins the dining and kitchen, enjoys the sweet garden air with French doors opening to the patio and manicured lawn; coffee, tea or a G&T are best sipped here.

There are two light-filled bedrooms upstairs alongside a bathroom with the master bedroom being downstairs alongside the main bathroom. Add an internal entry garage, off-street parking, and mostly fenced surrounds perfect for wee ones and pets, and the offer is complete. And if you're inspired, modern up-styling will only increase value.

Ellerslie's wide-ranging amenities are oh so near to the door. They include a family fun day around the corner at Ellerslie Racecourse, a bounty of eateries, cafes and unbeatable commuting options via rail or road. Top schools are close by, and Sylvia Park and Remuera Village together cover all the retail needs.

4/15 Lonsdale's next chapter waits to be turned; turning it will be the quickest discerning buyer on the scene. Could that be you?
