41 Boyce Avenue, Mount Roskill, Auckland City, Auckland

Born in the groovy 1960s and refreshed with a super cool 21st Century makeover, this weatherboard home offers numerous scenarios for the future. The quintessential Kiwi classic of demure dwelling taking up a petite footprint on a colossal block of land translates to opportunity. From families wanting nostalgic garden vibes their kids will relish, to investors seeking a development project with subdivision options, this renovated gem with views of Waitakere Ranges has been a labour of love for its talented owners.

A practical 138 sqm (approx.) floor plan is oriented to capture sun from dawn to dusk. The crisp minimalist interior is an exercise in contrasts with original native timber floors pairing well with pale pastel walls. Banks of glazing welcome natural light while stylish updated lighting evokes the perfect mood whatever the moment. An open plan living area with log burner fireplace benefits from direct flow via the dining room to a sizable deck ready for barbecues, pizza nights, social hangs or just a quiet snooze after a day at the coalface. The dual galley kitchen makes a chic statement with duck egg toned cabinetry blending perfectly with stone benchtops and brushed gunmetal fixtures. Three bedrooms all have built in closets including main boudoir with botanical feature wall introducing a wild 'microclimate' setting. These share a stunning tiled bathroom cleverly configured to merge freestanding bath with shower and integrating a vessel basin atop floating vanity, wall hung toilet, and deep-toned tapware. Below decks, the generous laundry hub sits alongside a ply-lined single garage and basement.

Largely gently sloping lawns and ample drive on parking define 870 sqm grounds dotted with trees. In close proximity to Maungakiekie Golf Course and Keith Hay Park and a short stroll to zoned May Road School and within a 20-minute commute of the CBD, this is a pivotal neighbourhood where abundant amenities are all in a small radius.
