Auction today at 4pm!
After four decades of memories, a lifetime of love and cherished ownership, the instructions are clear: this substantial quintessential 1970s classic must be sold!
Occupying a commanding, north-facing freehold site, this home offers a scale and position that is increasingly difficult to find. From its elevated vantage point, the property captures a living gallery of the harbour, with sea views stretching out to the iconic peaks of Rangitoto and the Coromandel Peninsula beyond - a breathtaking, ever-changing vista that has remained a guarded family secret until now.
Crafted when homes were built to last, with the enduring integrity of solid brick and block construction, this home has been meticulously maintained over its lifetime.
The layout is a true multi-generational masterpiece, designed to balance togetherness with total independence. Downstairs, but still within the home, could be a fully self-contained two-bedroom granny flat that provides the ultimate solution for extended family, independent teens, or a quiet retreat for grandparents, allowing for a modern lifestyle where every family member has a space to call their own and to gather again at the end of the day. The income potential can not be overlooked here.
It is a layout that understands the rhythm of a modern family and a place where family and friends can be a part of every milestone.
Practicality meets potential throughout, from the large internal access double garage to the expansive grounds that offer room to breathe and grow. While the home has been a steadfast family anchor for forty years, the vendors are now ready for their next retirement chapter, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your family to secure a home of genuine character and scale.
It is time for a new family to watch the sunrise over the harbour and begin their own story in a home that truly has a soul.
This is more than just a residence; it's a generously proportioned 200sqm home, plus garage, sitting proudly on a rare landholding of a 678sqm freehold site, with a view that will take your breath away every single day. There is plenty of space for the future swimming pool, avid gardeners, or even a minor dwelling. - Chat to your town planner about the development potential here.
You're a 2-minute walk to fantastic public transport options that will get you around the North Shore or to the CBD with ease, and perfectly positioned In zone for the sought-after Willow Park Primary School, Northcote College and Intermediate.
Don't let forty years of waiting result in a missed opportunity.
The auction is set for 4.00pm, Wednesday, 15th April 2026, at Ray White Glenfield (unless sold prior).
Experience the home for yourself at this weekend's open homes, or call Regan or David for more information and to view the auction live at rwcarpenterrealty.co.nz/watch-our-auctions-live.
