52 Queenstown Road, Onehunga, Auckland City, Auckland

Purpose-built in the 1960s by mid-century architect Ross Lee, this striking four-bedroom residence is a rare full-site find in Onehunga. A home that one family has cherished for 65 years now awaits its next chapter.

Elevated and tucked amongst mature trees on a 1,125sqm (more or less) site, the home features floor-to-ceiling windows that capture serene, garden views from a northern vantage.

Mid-century hallmarks abound: exposed brickwork, lofty ceilings, timber cabinetry, and slatted partitions that define spaces while retaining flow and light.

Open plan living and dining are anchored by a feature fireplace, with a galley kitchen and separate family room (or fifth bedroom) offering multiple zones for everyday life and entertaining. On the main living level, a study, family bathroom and laundry support family function, while the large deck extends the living outdoors - a green screen in Central Auckland.

A few steps down, the private main bedroom has original polished timber flooring and sun-soaked garden views. There are two further bedrooms with high ceilings on this floor. Downstairs is the fourth bedroom with ensuite and its own generous living area for family or guest stays. A double carport and additional off-street parking add practicality.

The architect’s signature split-level design brings interest and function, providing distinction from modern cookie-cutter design and an easy transition between spaces.

Across from Onehunga High fields and moments to Dressmart, Onehunga Village, and motorway transport, this address offers family-friendly ease.

The home is simply as beautiful to live in as it is to look at – a true mid-century treasure in Onehunga.
