23 Elliot Street, Riverhead, Rodney, Auckland

Hidden from the street behind a long, gently winding driveway, 23 Elliot Street is an extraordinary riverfront sanctuary. Framed by mature trees and landscaped grounds, this striking black-clad home with its bold roofline commands attention - but it is the land itself that makes this property truly irreplaceable.

The setting is nothing short of magical. Protected stone ruins remain as a reminder of the site's history, while the original sea wall allows you to fish for snapper or flounder, or even launch a small boat or kayak directly from your own backyard. From most rooms you can watch dolphins at play, birds circling the river, and fish breaking the surface as the tides ebb and flow. Ducks and Pukeko roam freely across the lawn, while a wide new deck provides the perfect vantage point to soak in the views with family and friends. Here, every angle is pretty, every outlook serene.

Inside, the home has been meticulously transformed. Fully gibbed and insulated in walls, ceilings, and floors, it features engineered oak flooring, new plush carpet, and fresh paint and wallpaper throughout. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone, opening effortlessly to the deck and river beyond. A designer kitchen takes centre stage with an integrated fridge, Miele appliances, and an island bench with an induction downdraft cooktop.

The layout is ideal for modern living, with a second family lounge offering flexibility and retreat. The main suite enjoys its own private wing, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a sleek ensuite bathroom. Three further bedrooms and a second fully renovated bathroom provide comfort for family or guests, supported by a stylish laundry and excellent storage.

No detail has been overlooked - from the complete rewire and new light fittings throughout, to exterior and garden lighting, automatic gates, and ambient security systems. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped, yet designed for low-maintenance ease, offering the rare opportunity to enjoy the space and tranquility of a lifestyle property without the endless upkeep.

23 Elliot Street is more than a home - it is a living experience, where history, nature, and modern design meet. The vendor's instructions are clear: all reasonable offers will be seriously considered. For those seeking an utterly unique property, this is Riverhead's rarest jewel.
