This is a home designed around real family life — easy mornings, relaxed afternoons and space to come together or spread out when needed. A character bungalow that has been carefully extended and enhanced over time, it offers generous proportions, excellent flow and a warmth that’s immediately felt.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area is light-filled and welcoming, opening out to a covered deck, level north-facing landscaped garden and swimming pool. It’s a setting made for weekend lunches, after-school swims and long summer evenings. An adjacent second living room provides a quieter retreat, movie room or space for kids and adults to coexist with ease.

Four generous bedrooms include a main bedroom with a stylish ensuite, supported by two further family bathrooms. Ample storage and a separate studio in the garden add valuable flexibility — ideal as a teenage hangout or work-from-home option — while fully fenced grounds and electric gates create a sense of privacy and security.

Positioned in a wonderfully central spot, this is a home that makes everyday life easy. In zone for Balmoral School, just at the end of the street, and Mt Albert Grammar, neighbourhood parks, shops and eateries are close by, and the train station is an easy walk for city commutes. Eden Park sits nearby, while excellent transport links mean you’re quickly connected across Auckland.

Comfortable, flexible and genuinely family-friendly, this is a home that supports the way people really live — and does so beautifully.
