Perched proudly on one of Titirangi's most tightly held and exclusive streets, this much loved home is rich with history. Originally built in the 1930s, it's been in the same family for around 60 years - lovingly cared for and thoughtfully extended in the 1990s by its architect owner to create the spacious family home we see today.
Tucked away up "Butchers Lane," the property sits elevated among the treetops, taking in sea views and lush native bush. The charm of the original yellow weatherboard cottage is immediately evident as you step inside. With beautiful warm rimu flooring, timber joinery, and a weatherboard lined interior wall, the home retains all the character of a bygone era.
Off the central foyer, you're welcomed into the kitchen, complete with walk in pantry, which flows seamlessly into the open plan dining and lounge areas. A feature cavity slider allows the living to be closed off if desired. The living room is particularly inviting - sunny, spacious, and centred around a classic open fireplace, with an HRV system ensuring year round comfort. Built in cabinetry, a beautiful curved feature wall, and easy flow to a private rear deck with built in seating all add to its appeal. It's the perfect spot to unwind, entertain, or soak up the peaceful bush surrounds.
The upper level extension houses a private master retreat, with a soaring pitched ceiling, a large adjoining office space, and those elevated views that get even better the higher you go. The master suite includes a walk in wardrobe, ensuite, and a custom built vanity area with a fold-up mirror - ideal for morning routines or simply enjoying your morning coffee with a view.
Downstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, each with good sized wardrobes and access to the front veranda, as well as a family bathroom that services this level. On the basement level, there's more to discover: a large storage and workshop area, a separate laundry with toilet, and an additional room that could be used as a rumpus, hobby room, or even a fourth bedroom - plenty of flexible options for growing families or creative minds.
With a total floor area of 183sqm, there's no shortage of space here. While the home is being sold "as is, where is," it presents a rare and exciting opportunity to restore and refresh a home with true heart and soul. With quirky, creative touches throughout - hallmarks of its architect owner - it's easy to see the potential.
The 1,017sqm section is mostly covered in native bush, offering wonderful privacy and a serene natural setting, while still leaving flat areas for additional parking or play spaces. There's a single garage/shed plus off street parking for three vehicles.
This is a property with personality, privacy, and promise - ready for someone to roll up their sleeves and bring it back to life. Homes like this in Titirangi don't come up often - an exceptional chance for buyers to secure something truly special.
