Located on a full 835sqm (more or less) site in a quiet Browns Bay cul de sac, this classic family residence boasts the extraordinary benefits of having a legal home and income downstairs. Freshly renovated with a new kitchen and bathroom, the one-bedroom accommodation is a great way to supplement your mortgage with rental income, or provides the perfect place for extended family to live comfortably and close by.


The classic solid home was originally built in the ‘60s and showcases the generous proportions and practical design of the era. Upstairs, the lounge flows into the open plan kitchen and dining area. Two sets of glass sliders flow out to the sunny deck, which enjoys elevated views out over the valley to the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto.

Three double bedrooms are located down the hallway and the bathroom has been divided into bath, shower and toilet rooms – handy for family life. As well as an oversized internal garage, there is off-street parking available out front.

Downstairs, the legal home and income has its own separate entrance. The lounge has a heat pump and opens out to the garden and the fully self-contained accommodation also has its own laundry.

The rear garden is a wonderland of trees and offers vast amounts of space for kids to play and explore, or to grow fruit and vegetables for a more sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle.

The school zoning is a huge drawcard here, with access to a selection of excellent and highly regarded schools, including Browns Bay School, Murrays Bay Intermediate, Northcross Intermediate and Rangitoto College – consistently ranked in New Zealand’s Top 10.

Browns Bay shopping village is a five minute drive from home, as is the beautiful beach.
Motorway onramps, Albany and Rosedale ‘s Asian supermarkets and medical facilities are also a short drive away.
