The New House

After looking at numerous houses across south and east Auckland, we were extremely happy to find this four bedroom house in Mellons Bay, and very close to the village of Howick. It is about three houses and across the street from the kids new school, they start on 3 February. As you can see, the house sits well of the road down a long driveway. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with a small backyard for the kids.

Straight behind that tall pine is the front door, and to the right is a double carport.

Looking through the front door into the dining room and out to the back deck and out to the water.

From the dining room out towards the back deck. The kitchen is to the right and the main lounge area to the left. Back a hall to the right are three bedrooms, one with ensuite, and separate guest toilet. Downstairs is another bedroom and bath, and a larger rumpus room. We have chosen the downstairs accommodations.

The view is essentially the same view we had in the other house. The landmass in the background is Waiheike Island, a popular summer destination with vineyards, restaurants, etc. We will be making the ferry ride over in the not to distant future.

The basic household needs have been acquired, furniture, kitchenware, etc. We will continue to fill in items as we find them. This is a great location for everyone, and we feel lucky to have found it!
