Old Soul, New Ease - Heritage Lives On
Originally crafted in the early part of the last century, this extraordinary bungalow was carefully re-sited to its current position almost five years ago and, in the process, underwent an extensive transformation. Reimagined for modern living, it now offers the rarest of combinations - the romance and craftsmanship of a bygone era, paired with the comfort, warmth and functionality of what genuinely feels like a near-new home.
And what a beautiful soul this home has.
Leadlight windows scatter soft light throughout the interiors. Vaulted ceilings in the master retreat create a sense of calm and quiet grandeur that feels more boutique hotel than bungalow. Custom olive velvet and gold drapery bring richness and texture, while brushed brass hardware and a statement kitchen splashback layer personality throughout the home.
There is warmth here in every sense of the word.
North-facing and drenched in sun, the living spaces glow from morning through evening. The connection between the kitchen, lounge and deck is seamless - designed for long lunches, children wandering barefoot in and out, evening wines with friends and those slow Sunday mornings that become the memories you keep forever.
The planting and fencing create an unexpected sense of sanctuary and privacy rarely found on compact city-fringe sites. In the children's bedrooms, green dappled light filters softly through the hedging outside, creating the kind of atmosphere that feels calming the moment you walk in.
Practicality has not been overlooked either. Fully insulated and equipped with central heating and HRV, the home is exceptionally warm and dry year-round. A substantial attic storage space with convenient pull-down stairs provides incredible functionality, while the layout is also wonderfully adaptable. The front guest suite, complete with its own ensuite, has been an ideal retreat for extended family and visitors, but could equally function as an alternative master suite, teenager's haven, work-from-home space or au pair accommodation depending on your stage of life.
And then there is the location. Moments from Cornwall Park, local Pilates studios, excellent coffee, the increasingly celebrated Onehunga hospitality scene and the wonderful Gow Langsford Gallery, this is city-fringe living with genuine community and character. Quick motorway and airport access only add to the ease.
But ultimately, what makes this home special is harder to quantify. It is the feeling of living amongst beauty. The texture of history blended seamlessly with modern ease. The sense that this home has stories behind it and many more still to come.
This is not simply shelter. This is a haven that will uplift your life. Spread your wings!
