40 St Annes Crescent Wattle Downs, Manukau City

Nestled close to the water with sea views, this home and income comes with a substantial 1025m2 section. Access to the foreshore is quite literally across the road, making this location one of the best in Manukau.

The heart of the spacious main home is in the open plan kitchen and living area, with a classic deck out the back and ample grass to run with bare feet and kick a ball around.

There's internal garaging for two cars and plenty of off-street parking for teenagers' cars or for guests. Visitors will be happy to stay overnight in the freestanding cottage on the property, which can be used for multi-generational living or as a home and income. There's even space to park the kayak for ease of access to an early morning on the water.

With quality homes and a community feel, this is a wonderful suburb to bring up a family. There are ample activities nearby, while if the work commute demands it, you're close to the Takanini on-ramp to the motorway and the airport.

A lot of thought and funding has gone into enhancing the local area, in zoned in the famous Reremoana school. There are even two golf courses in close proximity!
