26 Walmsley Road, Saint Heliers, Auckland City, Auckland

Superbly crafted from timeless materials - clay brick paired with wide-tray roofing - 26 Walmsley Road is set in a prime St Heliers position with expansive views and beautiful outdoor living. This is a home designed for the long term.

Purchased brand new 14 years ago, the current owners connected with it instantly, not just seeing it, but feeling it. They were drawn to the generous scale, high stud, and the warmth and texture of natural timber flooring. Full-height windows (double-glazed) feature throughout, deliberately framing outlooks in every direction and drawing light deep into the home. The result is a calm, gallery-like backdrop for their art collection and curated Truebridge lighting (which will remain for the next owners).

The location is as practical as it is desirable. Just steps from St Heliers School, with fields and courts effectively extending your backyard, and an easy walk to Glendowie and Sacred Heart Colleges for the years ahead. And the home simply works for families at every stage.

Living zones are arranged across both levels, offering flexibility and breathing space. On the ground floor, open-plan living flows to a private paved terrace and covered pergola, sheltered by established perimeter planting; it’s an inviting all-seasons outdoor room.

Upstairs, a second lounge fully capitalises on its elevation, with sweeping views across St Heliers and out to Rangitoto. A generous covered deck sits neatly between this lounge and the master suite, connecting the two without compromising privacy. The master is exceptional: full height windows on two sides, a substantial wardrobe, refined finishes, and views that slow the pace of the day.

Three further bedrooms are genuinely spacious, including one on the ground floor with a full bathroom for future flexibility.

Street-front yet private, the 263m² home sits securely behind electric gates with its own driveway, internal-access garaging, and an EV charger already in place. Quietly confident, grand yet liveable, this is a home with substance and soul -right in the heart of St Heliers. Walk to the village and beach, or simply look out over it.
