37 Jellicoe Avenue, Tuakau, Franklin, Auckland

There’s something about a home with history that a new build just can’t replicate, and this beautifully renovated 1950s bungalow has kept all the right parts.

Fully refreshed inside and out, the hard work has already been done while the character that makes this home special has been carefully retained. Native timber floors, high ceilings and unique original details sit comfortably alongside a new kitchen, fresh interiors, new carpet and a beautifully renovated bathroom.

The kitchen is a standout, bringing a fresh modern finish while cleverly retaining some of the original 1958 storage, a subtle nod to the home’s past without compromising on everyday practicality.

At the centre of the home is a welcoming living room, anchored by a feature wood-burning fireplace. Three genuinely generous bedrooms provide plenty of space, while the large renovated bathroom, separate toilet and separate laundry make the layout as practical as it is charming.

Storage certainly isn’t lacking either, with plenty throughout the home and further space available underneath.

Outside, a front deck creates a welcoming entrance, while the rear deck opens out to a private backyard made for entertaining, kids, pets or simply enjoying your own space. A new carport, single garage and additional off-street parking complete the picture.

The renovation goes well beyond what you can see. The exterior and roof have been freshly painted, the home has been rewired, and insulation has been added to the ceiling and underfloor, giving you the character of 1958 with the confidence of a home that has been properly brought forward.

And the location makes everyday life easy. You’re approximately five minutes’ walk from the town centre, supermarket, daycare and everyday essentials, around 10 minutes from Pukekohe and 15 minutes from the motorway.
