21 St Leonards Road, Kelston, Waitakere City, Auckland

First time on the market since built in the 1950s, this expansive three-bedroom family home is ready for its next chapter. An astute investment in the heart of Kelston, sitting on a freehold site of 817m² (MOL), offering exciting potential to transform this Kiwiana beauty and bring her into the contemporary.

Set back from the road, this home has stood the test of time, retaining original features; timber panelling, built-in cabinetry, French doors, window pelmets, and an abundance of vintage charm. Timber detailing flows through the lounge and dining area, complete with a heat pump and French doors opening out to a covered, private patio and garden.

The bedrooms enjoy leafy outlooks while the original fourth bedroom could be reinstated from the generous lounge. The sunroom presents opportunity to reconfigure into a home office or studio with its own entrance. There is scope to further develop the basement area for additional storage or a workshop.

Car and project enthusiasts will appreciate the two garages with road frontage, plus a carport; plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, or toys. Established fruit trees dot the grounds. The partially fenced section offers plenty of lawn; a magical yard for kids to play and explore.

Zoned for St Leonards Road School, Kelston Intermediate, Kelston Boys’ High School, and Kelston Girls’ College, and conveniently located close to Kelston Shopping Centre, LynnMall, WestCity Waitakere, and The Boundary.

Zoned Mixed Housing Urban under the Auckland Unitary Plan, with both stormwater and wastewater services on site. Please refer to our town planner’s one-page site summary (Mt Hobson Group) for further clarity. The Auckland Council property file is available on request.
