Property details

Listing # HOW45070 | Listed on 15 April

For more than three decades, this much-loved home has been a place of generosity, connection, and community spirit. Set amidst established gardens that have hosted countless fundraising events over the years, the property has been the heart and soul of a well-known East Auckland stalwart-welcoming friends, neighbours, and supporters who came together to raise significant funds for charity. Few homes can genuinely claim such a rich and meaningful story.

Built in the 1970s, this sun-filled rendered brick home offers comfortable, versatile living. The main level features three bedrooms and two bathrooms along with generous living spaces, and a light-filled conservatory, for easy everyday living, completed with a galley kitchen and laundry off to the side. While the lower level provides a separate bedroom and lounge area - ideal for extended family and guests. A dedicated study or hobby room, along with ample storage, adds further flexibility to this ample area.

Set on a generous 751sqm (more or less) freehold site, in the sought after Mixed Housing Suburban Zone, 5 Borrowdace Avenue offers development potential that is clear and compelling, while the existing home continues to offer immediate liveability. Development is pending consents being obtained and Council approvals.

Positioned in a highly sought-after location, you're just moments from Botany Road, public transport, quality local schools, Botany Town Centre, Howick Village, The Howick Club, and Pakuranga Golf Club.
This is more than just a property-it's a home with heart, history, and a future full of possibility.

Now, as the current owners prepare to move into the next chapter of their lives, this special property is ready to pass into new hands-whether that's a family wanting to create their own memories, or a developer (pending consents) recognising the significant future opportunity on offer.
There is clear scope here to renovate and enhance, allowing you to modernise and add value while making the home distinctly your own.

Open homes as advertised or please call Sharon or Michelle for a private viewing.
