30 Thorn Road, Tuakau, Franklin, Auckland

Set on a generous 1,011sqm section and bordered by open rural land, this home offers that hard-to-find combination of space, privacy and easy family living, right on the edge of Tuakau township.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone is the true hub of the home, offering plenty of elbow room for everyday life. Large windows frame the greenery outside, while the sliding doors out to the full-length covered deck make indoor–outdoor flow effortless. Summer barbecues, morning cuppas, or a quiet sunset, it’s all here waiting. The kitchen is spacious and social, with excellent storage, modern appliances and great bench space. A second living/dining nook sits adjacent, giving you flexibility depending on how you like to live and entertain.

All three bedrooms are well-sized, with the primary bedroom enjoying its own ensuite and easy access through the hall. The family bathroom includes both a bath and shower - ideal for households with little ones - and there’s an additional powder room off the laundry, handy when guests pop by or you’re coming in from the garden.

Outdoors is where this property really opens up. The wraparound deck offers multiple spaces to sit and unwind, while the established planted areas and mature trees add shelter, shade and the sense of a private retreat. There’s loads of lawn for kids, pets, or future landscaping ideas - veggie beds, fruit trees, or even a studio if you choose. The freestanding double garage provides excellent storage and workshop capability, with ample off-street parking for extra vehicles.

Tuakau is a community that continues to grow in appeal. Shops, cafés, parks and schools are all close by, while Pukekohe’s full range of amenities is an easy drive. Commuting north or south is straightforward from here, yet the setting feels wonderfully removed from the pace.

If you’re after a comfortable family home with scope to personalise and a location that really works, this one deserves your attention.
