Located in a highly desirable neighbourhood just minutes from the Okahu Bay shoreline, this property presents an exceptional opportunity. Whether you choose to fully update the existing home for a practical coastal lifestyle or develop the site for significant growth, the options are promising. The property is optimally zoned as Residential Mixed Housing Urban, and the section features an attractive 1950s solid brick and tile residence situated at an elevation that provides stunning harbour and Rangitoto views. Increasing the height of the current dwelling could enhance these vistas even further.

Spanning approximately 180 sqm across two levels, the floor plan includes a study added in 1985 by the current owners. A Skyline garage was constructed at street level, alongside a rock retaining wall, which borders the restored cobblestone pathway leading to the house. The spacious downstairs area comprises four bedrooms, with original polished native timber floors and rimu stairs, complemented by mid-century features and neutral modern decor. Its north-facing orientation maximises sunlight — especially in the living spaces.

The separate lounge features a heat pump, timber double-glazed picture windows, and French doors opening to the front terrace. The adjacent dining room also accesses the same outdoor space. The mid-century galley kitchen, with classic overhead cupboards and an updated cooker, harmonises vintage charm with modern updates. The three double bedrooms—main with an ensuite, Velux window, and built-in wardrobes—are well-insulated and comfortable. A sizeable main bathroom and a large separate laundry, accessible from both the hallway and rear foyer, add to the convenience, with steps leading down to the ground floor and outside.

The freehold 888 sqm (approx.) section is mostly fenced, featuring established trees and manicured lawns. There is ample parking available on the roadway. Conveniently situated within walking distance to Coates Avenue shops, and a short drive to St. Kentigern School, Baradene College, and zoned for Selwyn College, this exceptional property is prized for its proximity to the beach, boutique shopping, village amenities, and public transport options.
