11 Horopito Street, Mount Eden, Auckland City, Auckland

Bursting with personality and proudly dressed in its unforgettable orange hue, this charming 1910 Mt Eden villa is impossible to ignore, "and once inside, instantly engaging." Owned and cherished by the same family for nearly 20 years and home to eight siblings, this property has been the backdrop to countless celebrations, milestones, and memories. When they first purchased the home, the owners famously said, "The only thing I'm still a bit undecided about is the orange colour…", but as time passed, they realised it perfectly reflected the warmth, energy and joy this home would come to represent. Offering five generous bedrooms, this classic villa delivers flexibility for large families, blended living, or those wanting space to spread out. The home flows beautifully to inviting outdoor entertaining areas, where gatherings have long been a way of life, think summer BBQs, birthdays, laughter, and connection. Importantly, the home is warm, welcoming and very comfortable to live in as it stands, while also presenting exciting scope for future enhancement. There is clear opportunity to add further value by updating the kitchen and bathrooms, along with enhancing the outdoor living spaces to fully maximise the home's footprint and lifestyle appeal, allowing the next owners to add their own vision over time. And that iconic orange? It's more than just a colour, it symbolises warmth, optimism, creativity and confidence. Much like the home itself, it's bold, welcoming, social, and full of life - a true statement piece in both style and spirit. Set in the ever-popular Mt Eden location, with village life, schooling, transport and city access all close by, this is a home that blends heritage charm with vibrant living. This is not just a house - It's a home that celebrates family, fun, culture and colour, and it's ready for its next chapter ...
