1/14 Colonial Road, Birkenhead, North Shore City, Auckland

Architecturally reimagined and with undeniable wow factor, this stunning cedar-clad home is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

A thoughtful redesign by the architect and interior designer owners, for their own family, has resulted in a beautiful and cohesive blend of original 1940s features with contemporary style.

Behind the concealed door and soaring windows, the hallway and kitchen are bathed in natural light. There are two generous bedrooms including the serene primary with French doors opening to a sunny balcony - the ideal spot for morning coffee and taking in spectacular city views.

Enjoy one level living with an effortless connection to the outdoors, the kitchen flowing to a lush and landscaped, north-west facing garden. Fully fenced, wonderfully private and with views out to sea, this is the perfect space to relax, unwind or entertain in the afternoon sun.

The light-filled bathroom is a true sanctuary with a spacious walk-in shower, marbled tiles and elegant brass finishes. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a space of beauty and indulgence.

Your family will be cosy and comfortable all year round with newly installed ducted heating and cooling. Beautifully restored timber flooring and wool carpeting add further warmth and timeless appeal.

Positioned on popular Colonial Road with off-street parking, it’s an easy stroll to local cafes, schools and the supermarket. Scenic coastal walks, parks, the iconic Chelsea Sugar Factory (and the delights of Sugar Cafe) plus Birkenhead Point village are all within walking distance. Public transport connections are excellent.

This is architecture with heart - designed to be lived in, loved and quietly admired.
