46 Matua Road, Huapai, Rodney, Auckland

This exquisite four-bedroom character bungalow represents a rare fusion of timeless craftsmanship and considered modern improvement. Behind the carefully sourced antique garden door is a home that whispers of promise and peace.

Perfectly placed upon a lush, private expanse of lawn, the residence rests quietly within its own green sanctuary-an address that feels both beautifully removed yet irresistibly connected to the heart of Kumeu.

From the moment you approach, the leadlight adorned facade and graceful proportions whisper of heritage, while every detail within tells a story of renewal and restraint. With a sparkling new CCC for its relocation - and all the bespoke refinishing work that goes into that (including the peace of mind of new piling and rewiring) this elegant home provides a curated lifestyle with the charm and care of the past built into the ease and durability of a contemporary build.

The spacious, light-filled kitchen is anchored by a striking charcoal heritage style stove complemented by carefully selected tapware and fittings that echo the era's beauty with modern precision.

This is a space that soothes as much as it inspires, setting the tone for the open-plan living and dining zone beyond. French doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, leading to generous decking that forms an elegant outdoor room. The result is a seamless extension of the home's living space-perfect for gatherings that linger through soft evening light.

A wide central hallway bisects the residence with stately grace, setting the living zone to one side while a series of well-proportioned bedrooms, each with serene outlooks, line the other. The family bathroom-impressive in scale and ceiling height-offers a touch of indulgence to elevate everyday living.

A light-filled master suite is quietly positioned at the rear, opening to its own private balcony, its boutique-hotel ambiance is defined by warmth, subtle texture, and an effortlessly elegant en suite, a sanctuary for those who appreciate sophistication wrapped in calming simplicity.

Outside, the gardens are a masterclass in contemporary cottage styling: slightly formal, beautifully layered, and framed by mature greenery that lends an immediate sense of permanence and grace along with the nostalgic joy of a back garden dotted with fruit trees.

The craftsmanship and unparalleled care extends even to the garage-crisp white with a chic noir door and trims, and custom-built to mirror the design features of the bungalow, it conceals the home from the road while offering a generous, beautifully finished interior.

With built-in workspace, exceptional storage, and ample off-street parking, it is both functional and impeccably styled, while a separate freestanding cabin, currently home to a sauna retreat, offers versatility as a sleepout, home studio, or serene work-from-home space-completing a property that celebrates both lifestyle and legacy.

The location balances charm with convenience-mere moments from central Kumeu. Children can wander home from school bus trips, families can stroll for donuts at the Boujee Bakery (worth every calorie), or enjoy golden evenings at The Beer Spot after a drive through vine-covered countryside back from Muriwai's glorious black sand beach.

This meticulously restored bungalow is a triumph of balance: prestige with warmth, character with clarity, craftsmanship with comfort. It is a home that feels not merely renovated, but reimagined-a rare opportunity to own a residence that honours the past while quietly defining the future.
