4/707 St Aubyn Street East Parkvale, Hastings District

The first time in a long time, I stand empty, sunlight spilling across the floors and bare walls. After years of being rented, I feel almost shy. Full of stories, and if you had the time, I would love to share.

The current owners, Craig and Vanessa, have been and walked through from room to room, touching walls like you might touch the shoulder of an old friend. I feel steadied and ready for what might be next.

I can see mornings with coffee steaming on a sturdy table. Evening relaxed as you leave the day's worries unable. I can see laughter filling the rooms. 707, there's no two ways about it, it's been looked after and lived in. Laughed in. Loved in. It's proof that downsizing is about simpler, not just smaller.

Are you ready to build something solid?
