56 Queen Street, Riverhead, Rodney, Auckland

You know the house. The elevated white one that sits proudly above the street. The one people slow down for. The one that always looks good in every season.

56 Queen Street is that house.

Positioned high and dry with water views and all-day sun, this double glazed, character-filled 3-4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home stands apart from anything else in Riverhead. It's a true one-off - admired, unmistakable and impossible to replicate.

Inside, the high-stud ceilings immediately create a sense of space and scale, enhanced by detailed beams and beautiful timber floors underfoot. The main living room is anchored by a striking brick fireplace with woodburner set on a raised hearth - a true focal point that gives the home warmth and soul. Character windows filter in natural light, while French doors allow you to open or close spaces depending on how you want to live.

The layout is flexible, offering 3 or 4 bedrooms depending on configuration. The master suite is generous, complete with a large ensuite, while the main family bathroom is pure charm - featuring a statement clawfoot bath that perfectly complements the home's character.

Multiple living areas allow you to tailor the home around your lifestyle - family living, entertaining, work-from-home or separation for teenagers. Step outside and the elevated wraparound deck captures sun and outlook, flowing to expansive, usable lawns framed by established trees and mature hedging. It feels private, peaceful and substantial.

Then come the extras - spa pool, sauna, gazebo, outdoor BBQ and a children's playhouse. This is lifestyle on a grand scale.

Practicality matches the beauty. There is lockable storage under the house, an attached large single garage with additional storage, plus a separate shed with its own entry - ideal as a workshop, creative space or serious hobby zone.

Comfort is year-round with air conditioning, central HRV and the fireplace. Windows have been replaced throughout with double glazing, and security is well covered with digital door locks (front and rear), security cameras, video doorbell and alarm system.

With town sewerage and bore water in place, the fundamentals are solid.

Elevated. Sunny. High-stud character. Admired.

This isn't just another Riverhead property. It's one of the homes people remember.
