51A Isobel Road, Greenhithe, North Shore City, Auckland

Don’t let the location deceive you; the moment you step inside, you are greeted by an incredible sense of quiet and seclusion. Because the motorway is set well above the property and sound travels upward, the interior remains a peaceful sanctuary. It is a pleasant surprise that truly needs to be experienced in person to be appreciated.

Set back on a generous 1,326sqm (more or less) of private land, this substantial residence is a hidden sanctuary designed for those who value peace without compromising on scale. Built with heart and solid, traditional materials—classic brick, weatherboard, and block—the home stands as a testament to quality and has been a true 'labour of love' for the current owners over the last 13 years.

The owners originally chose this home because it provided the family with an expansive living environment where everyone could thrive. The layout was specifically designed for harmony and multi-generational living, with the upper level serving as a dedicated wing for their daughter’s family. This separate 'kids' zone' offers two bedrooms, a bathroom, and its own living area, ensuring excellent separation and privacy for different branches of the family under one roof. Meanwhile, the heart of the home remains the expansive main lounge, which spills out onto a grand deck overlooking perfectly coiffured organic gardens and fruit trees.

Beyond being a sprawling family haven, this property is the ultimate solution for those wanting to work from home. Located below the main house is a massive basement and rumpus level that serves as a professional, quiet sanctuary. Currently used by an award-winning photographer, this huge space includes a separate office and its own toilet, making it ideal for a business. Because it features its own separate access, you can host clients or focus on creative projects without ever disturbing the peace of the main living quarters.

Practicality is handled with ease, as the property offers a sheer abundance of on-site parking alongside the double garage. Whether you have a boat, a campervan, or multiple vehicles for a home-based business, there is plenty of secure space for everything. If you are searching for a home that offers genuine size, a brilliant work-from-home setup, and a garden that feels like a world of its own, this is the private haven you’ve been waiting for.
