It’s been a pretty busy week this week taking photographs and videos of properties in and around South Auckland. Usually on my blog I don’t post much about houses I shoot for real estate companies, but today I thought I’d do something a little different. Not wishing to bore you witless, I’ll just post a couple of images from two homes that really caught my eye this week. I suppose this could develop into a regular Friday feature … then again, perhaps not. Let me know if you’d like to see more highlights of the houses shot during the week.
To the houses then! One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the range of quality homes here in South Auckland and their affordability when compared to other parts of the city. I’ve added a couple of images below; one image of a more modern family home, the other of a classic home built from native timbers. Both homes are within easy walking distance to the railway station and offer an ideal car free commute into the city.
The first home is in the Hillpark area of Manurewa and close to Nathan Homestead, David Park, Orford Park and, of course, the shops in Manurewa. The shot below was taken last night on not the best of days for a dusk shot, but what a lovely outdoor area to entertain family and friends … complete with pool and spa!
The second home was a treat to photograph. So much native timber and character, lovely high ceilings and a real homely feel to it. I must admit it was definitely not what I expected to see when I arrived to take photos! This home is also close to parks as well as the shops in Manurewa.
Just trying something a little different in this post, if you click on the images below you should be directed to the agent’s webpage from where you’ll be able to see a few more images as well as get more details on the properties. I was seriously impressed with these homes … both of which well exceeded my expectations after looking for them on Google Maps!
