Back to the Old School

The Vendor is keen to see all and any offers, Deadline sale, 5pm, Wednesday 5th August 2026 (unless sold prior)

Step back into classic Kiwi living with this charming weatherboard home, tucked away in a traditional family-friendly cul-de-sac. Set on a generous freehold site, this is the kind of property that brings back the old-school dream of space, character, and potential.

Whether you're a first home buyer wanting to break into the market or an upsizer searching for a home with future upside, this is your opportunity to roll up your sleeves and create something truly special. Forget cookie-cutter turnkey homes, this is a property where imagination, personality, and vision can shine.

Positioned on a substantial 698m2 freehold section, there is exciting scope to extend, renovate, add a minor dwelling, or explore future development possibilities (subject to council approval). Alternatively, simply enjoy the huge backyard where children and pets can run freely just like the good old days.

Elevated to capture sweeping views across Hamlin's Hill through to Mangere Mountain, the outlook is both peaceful and inspiring. Sit back, relax, and watch the world go by from your own private sanctuary.

Inside, the home offers a functional and contemporary layout with separate living, kitchen/dining, three well-sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, and separate WC. There is plenty of opportunity to modernise and add value over time; perhaps even creating a spectacular entertainer's deck flowing from the living area to maximise those stunning elevated vistas. Downstairs, the basement garage and workshop area provide excellent storage, hobby space, or further potential.

Perfectly positioned in sought-after Mt Wellington, this home enjoys exceptional convenience. Sylvia Park Shopping Centre, the train station, and SH1 motorway access are all nearby, making commuting and daily life effortless. Enjoy weekends walking the Panmure Basin, swimming at Lagoon Pool, or brunching in vibrant Ellerslie Village, while Lunn Ave's retail and café precinct caters to all your everyday needs.

Held tightly by the same family for nearly four decades, this much-loved home is filled with heart, memories, and history. Now it's ready for a new chapter; patiently waiting for the next owners to pour their own love, vision, and future into it.
