Old World Soul, New World Flow

Step beyond the lush, leafy veil of the veranda and into a home that breathes with a gentle, historic grace. This classic cottage has been polished to a shine, preserving its soul through soaring ceilings, rich timber floors, and stained-glass details that catch the afternoon sun. It's an instantly welcoming space that lets you relax the moment you arrive.

The floorplan transitions seamlessly from the quiet charm of the original bedrooms into a light-drenched, architectural extension. Here, the kitchen and living areas are defined by clean lines and an industrial edge, anchored by a reclaimed wood feature wall. Massive glass sliders dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, making the garden's greenery a permanent backdrop to your daily life.

Life centers around the large timber deck, surrounded by lush tropical foliage and total privacy. It is the perfect spot for long outdoor lunches or a quiet morning coffee among the palms, essentially acting as an extra living room under the sky. This is a secluded, peaceful retreat for those who appreciate both clean design and a quiet atmosphere.

Tucked away in a friendly enclave, you'll join a community where neighbors truly look out for one another. This central location includes the luxury of a covered off-street carport and puts Ponsonby, K'Rd, and Kingsland within walking distance. With Newton Central School around the corner and Grey Lynn Park an easy stroll away, it's a perfect urban playground that balances heritage character with easy, modern living.
