Tucked away on a private, elevated 1,583m² freehold section right in the heart of Surfdale, 8 Beresford Avenue offers the perfect blend of peaceful island living and everyday convenience. Sheltered by mature gardens yet just a gentle stroll from shops, cafes, and the golden sands of Surfdale Beach, this home wraps you in privacy while keeping everything you love about Waiheke within easy reach.

Spanning a generous 155m², this thoughtfully maintained 1990s home is far more than a standard two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence. Its clever, adaptable design gives you incredible flexibility to shape the space around your lifestyle - whether you want one spacious family home, a smart income-generating setup, or a creative live-work sanctuary.

Step inside and you'll immediately feel the relaxed Waiheke rhythm. Upstairs features a bright, sun-filled open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge that opens seamlessly to a private deck. Large windows and a striking glass atrium fill the spaces with natural light and warmth, while two heat pumps keep the home comfortable year-round. The intuitive layout makes everyday living effortless - whether you're cooking for family, hosting friends, or simply enjoying quiet mornings with views through the trees.

The master bedroom and bathroom are tucked upstairs for serene privacy, complete with its own deck - the perfect spot for coffee as you plan your day. Downstairs offers even more living options, with a second bedroom, family bathroom, and adaptable lounge areas that can be opened up or divided to sleep up to 6 guests when configured as extra bedrooms. It's ideal for older children, visiting family, holiday rentals, or your own creative pursuits.

There is no fixed internal access between levels, which is exactly what creates so many wonderful possibilities. Simply reconfigure the versatile downstairs area to suit your needs - fold or tuck the sliding walls away to create one large open-plan living zone or divide it into multiple cosy rooms or bedrooms.

• Use the entire property as one beautiful, connected home that comfortably sleeps up to 8 people.
• Live upstairs and transform the entire downstairs into a separate self-contained space - ideal for rental income, teenagers, extended family, guests, a home office, art studio, music room, or gym.
• Rent out both levels independently for maximum returns.

Outside is a true private oasis. Beautifully landscaped gardens burst with fruit trees - feijoa, fig, lemon, and lime - while mature plantings create natural screening and seclusion. Sun-drenched decks on both levels are made for al fresco dining, morning yoga, sunset barbecues, or simply unwinding in the hot tub as the sun sets. Off-street parking for 2-3 cars adds everyday ease.

Surfdale's location is hard to beat. Walk to the village shops and cafés in minutes, enjoy the beach just around the corner, or catch a bus for further island adventures. Schools are close by, and the ferry terminal is only a quick drive away - giving you effortless connections to Auckland whenever you need them.

This isn't a glossy show home - it's an authentic, comfortable, and deeply liveable Waiheke residence with genuine heart and endless potential. Whether you're looking for a forever family home, a multi-generational haven, a peaceful lifestyle retreat, or a versatile investment with strong income options, the possibilities here are truly exciting.

Live in it, love it, rent part of it, work from it… the choice is yours.
