1/4 Ceramco Place, Torbay, North Shore City, Auckland

If you’ve been hoping to find a North Shore home with a bit more character than the usual, this Torbay property might stop you in your tracks. Set on a 1/2 share of 806m² section with a generous 150m² floor plan, it is light, private and easy to settle into. The pitched ceilings, exposed beams and elevated outdoor living give it personality, while the layout works beautifully for everyday life.

The main living area is bright and relaxed, with lounge and dining spaces connecting. Large windows bring in sunshine and leafy outlooks, and the heat pump adds year-round comfort. The kitchen is tidy and well-appointed, with a U-shaped layout, generous cabinetry, good bench space, subway tiling, a dishwasher and room to move. Beside the living zone, the conservatory-style sitting area gives you another place to land with a coffee, a book or your favourite playlist.

Three bedrooms are positioned across the home, with two upstairs featuring those striking pitched ceilings and exposed beams that give the upper level its distinctive feel. One opens straight out to the elevated deck, making it an especially appealing retreat. The upstairs study nook is another thoughtful touch, ideal for working from home. The main bathroom is modern and tidy, and the separate powder room adds that extra bit of everyday convenience guests and households always appreciate.

Outside, the home really earns its keep. Layered timber decking creates multiple spots to sit, unwind or entertain, whether it’s a slow weekend breakfast or drinks as the light drops away. The lawn below is usable and nicely contained, with established planting softening the edges and adding privacy. There’s also a garage with handy storage space, along with extra off-street parking.

Torbay has long been a favourite for good reason. You’re close to beaches, coastal walkways, village shops and the easy rhythm of East Coast Bays living, while still feeling tucked away from the rush.
