9 Geraldine Place, Kohimarama, Auckland City, Auckland

Privately tucked away in one of the area's most desirable coastal pockets, this beautifully renovated 1970s weatherboard and concrete block character home offers a rare blend of soul, style, privacy, and flexibility - all just moments from Madills Farm, Kohimarama Beach, quality schools, transport links, and an easy CBD commute.

Hidden behind a gated entry, the home unfolds as a peaceful boho-inspired sanctuary surrounded by lush subtropical, Balinese-inspired gardens. Established planting, wraparound decks, feature lighting, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces create a relaxed resort-style atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city.

Inside, the home is filled with warmth and personality. Polished timber floors flow through the kitchen and living areas, complemented by striking timber panel detailing, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a feature spiral staircase that adds architectural flair and character. Sunlight floods the interiors throughout the day, while the gas fireplace creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere in the cooler months.

Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the renovated kitchen is beautifully appointed with soft-close cabinetry, a Miele gas cooktop, Bosch double oven, generous pantry, island bench, and exceptional storage.

Indoor-outdoor living is effortless, with multiple interconnected living zones flowing seamlessly to wraparound decks, a dedicated BBQ zone, and a covered "chill-out" area complete with a firepit - creating a series of inviting spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or family living year-round.

A valuable bonus is the separate guest accommodation with its own entry, offering exceptional flexibility for teenagers, possible Airbnb income, extended family, student accommodation, or working from home.

Perfectly positioned for families, the home is zoned for highly regarded Kohimarama School, St Ignatius School, Selwyn College and Baradene College. Adding to the appeal, Kohimarama School is just a two-minute walk from the end of the cul-de-sac, with no roads to cross.

Homes with this level of character, outdoor living, privacy, and versatility are rarely available.
