Welcome to a home where timeless character meets confident, modern design - a beautifully reimagined 1920s classic that feels as though it's been lifted from Ponsonby and perfectly placed in Birkdale.
Thoughtfully renovated and intelligently expanded, this is a residence created for aspirational professionals, growing families or downsizers who want style and substance - heritage charm without compromising the way a modern family lives.
Lovingly transformed by its current owners - an engineer and an artist - every detail reflects a balance of precision and creativity. The result is a home that feels curated rather than constructed; cohesive, intentional and effortlessly cool.
DESIGNED FOR REAL FAMILY LIVING - ***Watch the video to see how the family uses this home.***
The original front lounge, once centred around a fireplace, now serves as a serene master bedroom. Two additional generous bedrooms with high ceilings provide beautiful spaces for growing children.
Original rimu floorboards guide you down the central hallway into the heart of the home - a spacious open-plan living zone expanded by enclosing the former verandah. Oversized windows invite in late-afternoon sun and leafy views, filling the dining area with natural light. A designer kitchen anchors the space, flowing seamlessly into a relaxed lounge designed for entertaining, conversation and connection.
A sleek tiled bathroom and integrated laundry keep everyday life streamlined and elegant.
For families who value both togetherness and separation, a sunken secondary lounge offers the perfect snug - ideal for movie nights, board games or relaxing with a good book.
OUTDOOR LIVING WITH PERSONALITY
The exterior unfolds in four thoughtfully designed zones:
• A lush, private tropical courtyard for long summer dinners
• A north-facing herb garden running the length of the home
• A generous, leafy front section offering privacy, shade and space to play
• And perhaps the ultimate conversation starter: a bespoke structure that cleverly doubles as both a skateboard ramp and off-street parking for two cars
It's playful, practical and unmistakably unique - just like the home itself.
The original backyard shed has also been thoughtfully preserved and upgraded - lined, re-roofed and carpeted - creating a versatile space perfect as a teen retreat, home office or guest accommodation.
LOCATION THAT WORKS AS HARD AS YOU DO
Positioned within the Kauri Park school zone and just five minutes from Birkenhead's vibrant cafés, restaurants and shopping, and only a one-minute walk to bus routes connecting you directly to Takapuna, Smales Farm and the CBD, this address delivers convenience without compromise.
This is heritage redefined - character, creativity and contemporary comfort woven together for modern family life. All that's left to do is hang your art, place your family photos, and begin your next chapter.
