Sunny and quiet, this refurbished four-bedroom unit sits on the upper northern face of a sheltered valley in Torbay on Auckland’s North Shore. Set in a peaceful cul-de-sac, it offers a calm place to come home to at the end of the day, while still being handy to shops, schools, beaches and main transport routes.

The unit is a self-contained, two-storey home within a duplex, completely separate from the neighbouring dwelling with its own entrance and off-street parking. Entrance to the home is conveniently through a central courtyard area, into the upper floor, adjacent to the double garage.

Upstairs is the heart of the home, where the open-plan lounge and dining area flow beautifully. A heat pump ensures year-round comfort, keeping you cool in summer and cosy in winter. The kitchen is integrated into the space for easy entertaining, yet thoughtfully shielded to keep your cooking and prep work hidden from view. It features a brand-new oven, a recently updated hob, and is equipped with a rangehood and dishwasher.

Large north-facing glazing opens onto a north-facing deck that captures sun for much of the day and looks out across the valley to a local reserve. With only a handful of homes in the distance, it feels private without being isolated and makes for an inviting space for morning coffee or relaxing in the late afternoon.

The upstairs level also hosts the main bedroom, a private retreat cleverly separated from the living area, served by a dual-access bathroom that also doubles as an ensuite.

Three bedrooms are located downstairs: two queen-sized, and one single, serviced by the main bathroom. The bedrooms are light and airy, with large windows and doors opening directly to a grass patio and garden area. The interiors have been recently refurbished so are clean, tidy and easy to make your own. There is a small laundry located next to the bathroom, with an associated clothesline just outside the small bedroom.
