Designed to make the most of its elevated position and sweeping views toward Maungawhau / Mt Eden, this welcoming 1950s weatherboard home offers the kind of layout and setting that works beautifully for family life, not just now, but for years to come.

The upper level forms the social heart of the home. Two large, light-filled living rooms sit either side of the well-appointed cook’s kitchen, creating spaces that can flex with the rhythm of family life, from relaxed evenings together to larger gatherings with friends. From here, doors open out to a sun-soaked deck and down to the lush, north-facing landscaped garden, providing an easy connection between indoors and out.

Also on this level are a bedroom, bathroom and separate laundry, offering flexibility for guests, extended family or work-from-home needs.

Downstairs, three further bedrooms are peacefully positioned with outlooks to the garden, complemented by a family bathroom, a layout that naturally creates separation between living and sleeping zones as families grow.

Mature landscaping and established planting create a private, leafy garden setting, ideal for children to play, outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the quiet of home. Practicality is well considered, with ample storage throughout, electric gates, a carport and additional off-street parking.

The location further enhances the appeal. Zoned for Epsom Normal Primary School, Auckland Normal Intermediate, Epsom Girls’ Grammar School and Auckland Grammar School, the property sits within one of Auckland’s most sought-after schooling zones. Local parks and neighbourhood cafés are close by, while the city centre and motorway connections, including easy access south and to the airport, are within easy reach.

A home designed for family life to grow into and enjoy for the long term, in a location that continues to stand the test of time.
