With figures in the high $2m's being paid in Parnell for family homes in need of renovation, 4 Waitoa St negotiable on an asking price of $3.2m would have to be tempting for astute buyers.

Twenty six years of patronage by the current vendors assures comfortable well appointed living spaces that integrate with outdoor living, separate fully self contained flat, in-ground heated pool and sauna. Elevated, facing north with sea views, bathed in sun and totally secure.

A premium address east of St Stephens Ave, a quiet cul-de-sac with access to the Hobson Bay walkway, central to Parnell village, parks, swimming baths and zoned for double Grammar.

Wrap this up for Christmas and start afresh for 2014.
