More Than Meets the Eye
This understated 1940s home sits on First View Avenue, arguably one of original Beachlands' most desirable Avenues. From the road it feels modest and familiar. Inside, it opens up and the scale begins to surprise.
The home has been renovated with respect for its origins. The honest simplicity of its unpretentious, post-war architecture remains, while the layout has been carefully reworked for modern life. Rimu floors run throughout, grounding the interiors with warmth, while a rock-coat feature wall adds quiet texture. The open-plan living areas flow effortlessly from the kitchen to dining and lounge, creating spaces made for family life. Three well appointed bedrooms plus a flexible living space, and a generous three modern bathrooms are arranged with purpose, giving the home a sense of scale and functionality that far exceeds its street-facing facade.
The kitchen is where the renovation comes alive. Designed by In House Kitchen Design, it is light-filled and practical. Engineered benchtops, a breakfast bar and a Falcon professional gas cooktop and electric oven make it functional and refined. Skylights and a vaulted ceiling draw natural light deep into the space.
Adding to the warmth of the home a custom-built shelving unit is found at the front of the home and forms part of a reading nook, a quiet corner for reflection & rest.
Outside, the scale of the land changes the sense of the home entirely. Set on a true Kiwi quarter acre of 1,012 square metres (more or less), the property offers room to spread out and plenty of scope for development. The back deck provides a quiet retreat while the north facing front lawn has all day sun and hosts family gatherings, games and long summer afternoons. A double internal access garage adds practicality without compromising the sense of space.
The location completes the picture. First View Avenue is tightly held for good reason. Popular Sunkist Bay beach, the reserve and the Log Cabin are a short walk away, while Wakelin Road shops, the community hall and Beachlands School sit nearby. Ferry access from Pine Harbour Marina keeps the city within reach, while life here remains grounded and connected.
A beautifully renovated 1940s home on a quarter acre section, within walking distance to the beach. Properties like this one are truely unique and are becoming an increasingly rare find. This one will be popular!
