For sale for the first time in 26 years, this quaint three-bedroom bungalow abounds in original features and offers a vintage canvas for restoration or renovation in a verdant setting with fruit trees and berries. It's on the bus route, close to shops and schools, and only a waterfront bike ride from the CBD yet feels in a world of its own.

Features include:

- Three double-bedroom, separate living and dining (one with a gas fireplace, the other with a woodburner), and a remodelled bathroom with both a bath and shower, so great for families with young children
- Iconic bungalow character, from high ceilings and original floorboards to sunny veranda, a bay window and amazing leadlights (originally it was a Smith & Smith Glass company home)
- Gorgeous courtyard garden at the front, complete with snowball tree, kowhai and white roses, and a rambling delight at the rear - where edibles rule (raspberries, boysenberries, peaches, apricots, apples, feijoas, vegetables)
- Sunny, largely sheltered indoor-outdoor living with east-west aspect: watch the sun rise over a morning cuppa' on the kitchen deck, see it set from the veranda, and enjoy summer shade on the deck under the huge, prolific olive tree
- Safely set back from the street, on a fully-fenced section with carport that includes storage
- Bonus of a big basement and adjacent storeroom/workshop

Elevated for full sun and lovely views over Miramar towards the Orongorongos, this is a unique opportunity if you love vintage living or have the vision for rejuvenation.
