5 Palm Road, Palm Beach

AUCTION - 11.30 a.m. Sunday 15 November On-Site (will not be sold prior) "The finest and cheapest of all tonics is a holiday at the seaside" and "lovely fresh water" were some of the phrases used in Smytheman's early ads for Palm Beach properties. They still resonate. We all know Waiheke beaches outstrip Auckland's by a country mile, but where on Waiheke can you find as offered here, a substantive little home several minutes walk to a white sand beach, with two bus-stops practically at your doorstep? This mixed vintage property has open living spaces, a new kitchen, good generous wrap-around decks and a handy garage/workshop. To utterly top this, it also has drive-on access for two cars and your boat - that is almost un-heard of in the Palm Beach valleys you might say, and you would be correct. There is no time to pause and reflect for long - this is affordable Palm - a rare and treasured thing.
