21 Queen Mary Avenue, Epsom, Auckland City, Auckland

There’s a quiet confidence to this bay villa — the kind that comes from generous proportions, beautiful detailing, and a location that continues to stand the test of time. Set in the heart of Epsom, it offers families the rare combination of character, comfort, and certainty around schooling, all wrapped in a home that feels immediately welcoming. Classic features including a traditional verandah, sash windows, high-stud ceilings, and polished timber floors give the home its enduring appeal. A thoughtful renovation and extension have created a sense of ease and openness, with the central hallway drawing you through to a generous open-plan living and dining space. Here, the island bench kitchen sits naturally at the centre of the home — perfect for everyday life and effortless entertaining. Sliding doors open to a covered deck and a north-facing, landscaped garden that is private, established, and fully fenced — a sun-filled extension of the living space that’s perfect for family life and relaxed entertaining. The bedrooms are all generous doubles with built-in wardrobes, including a main bedroom with ensuite. A separate laundry and utility room, excellent storage throughout the home including roof access, and internal entry to a two-car garage are all thoughtfully integrated, making the home comfortable and practical for long-term living. Secure electric gates add peace of mind, while the location speaks for itself. Walk to Cornwall Park and St Cuthbert’s College, enjoy easy access to Newmarket and the city, and benefit from as-of-right zoning for Epsom Normal Primary, Auckland Normal Intermediate, Epsom Girls Grammar, and Auckland Grammar schools. A home of substance in a suburb families return to again and again — a place to settle for the long term and enjoy the years ahead.
