<b> YOUR FAMILY'S OWN NATURE PLAYGROUND BY THE BEACH</b> Memories of a happy place to grow up: Mum and Dad bought the property because Dad wanted to live less than 3 minutes walk from the sea. It was his dream and one of the reasons he came to NZ. The house and garden were secondary. As children we loved the beach. We spent most of summer at the beach swimming, jumping off the rocks and playing on the rocks. We also loved the garden. There was plenty of room for building huts and playing make believe games. There was also a very close neighbourhood where all the kids in the street played together. We loved screaming down Rangitoto View Rd on trolleys or anything with wheels. We spent lots of time in each others houses. All our parents were close friends too. And, of course, there were always boats. We started with a little fizz boat but Dad soon got a trimaran as sailing was his first love. Eventually he got a small keel boat that was moored off Howick Beach until he could no longer sail her. We always had small sailing dinghies too. My father and brother raced with the sailing club most weekends when we were growing up. It was a very happy home. Seven reasons the owners loved living here: 1.Close to a safe beach with an active sailing club. 2. Lovely bush and sea views. 3.Large section that allows for peace, quiet and privacy, room for children to play and lots of bird life. 4.Close to Howick village, an easy walk along the beach and up Uxbridge Rd, to cafes, shops restaurants and the popular farmers market. 5. Short walk to bus stops. 6. Room for improvement and development. 7.Close to good schools Tidy the character cottage up while you plan your dream home for this magical and unique location. Give your family the fun and happiness that the owners gave their children and enjoy it witth them. Its now time for the owners to go and they are committed to selling. A once in a life time opportunity to own this property.
