There's a gate at the back of this section that opens straight onto Tirotai Reserve. It's a small detail, but it changes how you live - morning runs without the car, a kick-about after school without the drive, green space on tap that most inner-city homes can only dream of.

The house itself has earned its place next to it. What began as a 1930s Westmere home with high ceilings has been rebuilt from the ground up under the direction of an Auckland-based architect, and the result doesn't feel renovated, it feels new with touches of old. CCC issued, so there's nothing left to second-guess.

Inside, the layout is built for how families actually live: an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space anchored around a designer kitchen with a breakfast bar, plus a second lounge set apart from the main hub for the moments you want some quiet. Sliders off the living areas open onto a north-facing deck that catches all day sun.

Three double bedrooms, each with generous wardrobes, double glazing and ducted climate control. Two bathrooms, with underfloor heating to take the edge off winter mornings. Full insulation throughout means the comfort isn't seasonal, it's year-round.

Location does the rest of the work. Westmere Park's beachfront is a two-minute walk, swim, paddleboard, or just watch the sunset. Westmere Village's cafés and restaurants are just as close, and the bus into the city means you're not always reaching for the car keys.
Homes with private reserve access like this don't come up often in Westmere. This one's ready to walk into.
