218B St Heliers Bay Road, Saint Heliers, Auckland City, Auckland

This sun-soaked St Heliers haven is one of those rare finds that works for everyone. Whether you’re starting a family, have teenagers craving their own space, adult kids boomeranging home, or are looking ahead to downsizing but still want room for guests, this home will meet your needs.

Positioned in a leafy enclave well off the road, it’s wonderfully quiet — with a second gated entry from Ashby Avenue for easy access. The timeless cedar and brick home has been beautifully refreshed from top to toe: a new kitchen, new carpet, fresh paint inside and out, and even the roof has been redone.

Inside, you’ll find 221m² of warm, inviting living. The standout feature? Three extra-large bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and walk-through robe — giving everyone independence and privacy. One is located on the ground floor, perfect for parents, guests, or anyone wanting easy living without stairs. Upstairs, you’ll find two more suites with French doors opening onto a full-length deck, plus a handy study alcove on the landing.

Guests will feel instantly welcome in the inviting, light-filled living spaces that flow effortlessly to a large, west-facing patio. A flat astro-turf lawn and garden are safe and secure for children or pets, with zero maintenance required.

An oversized double garage plus a separate workshop (or mancave) are ideal for hobbyists, and there are two additional off-street parks for visitors.

And while it feels like you’re away from it all, you’re right in the heart of everything. Walk to the area’s top schools and amenities, pop down the road for coffee and pastries (locals swear by the Ashby Ave café for the best pies and cinnamon scrolls in Auckland), or head to St Heliers village for the beach, boutiques, and bars.

This home will surprise you in all the best ways — whisper-quiet, generous, refreshed, and versatile enough to suit families at every stage of life.
