Set on a generous 806sqm (more or less) site, this elevated and refurbished 1950s weatherboard home delivers a smart mix of space, comfort and future scope.

Whether you’re ready to move straight in, assessing a long-term hold, or reviewing development options (subject to council approval), this is a property that will appeal to a broad buyer group – especially given it’s just 500 metres from the Tamaki River shoreline with outlooks across Wai O’Taiki Bay.

The home has been thoughtfully updated with a modern, light-filled kitchen opening directly to the rear deck and expansive lawn. This is very much the day-to-day hub of the house, complemented by a separate living room that offers a quieter retreat. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.

Outside, there’s plenty of room for children and pets, along with ample off-street parking. For some buyers, however, the section itself will be the main drawcard, whether for land banking, redevelopment, or a family planning a larger home in an established coastal setting that continues to attract attention.

The location adds further weight. St Heliers Village, Glendowie shops, public transport and everyday amenities are all close at hand. A local playground and nature reserve sit an easy walk in one direction; Sacred Heart College is around a ten-minute walk in the other.

Overall, this is a balanced property that performs well on land, location and long-term outlook, offering a solid option today with flexibility for the years ahead.
