First Time in Decades!

Step back in time to an era of charm and substance. Here, at 71 Penney Avenue, stands a proud red classic from the 1960s—a brick and tile beauty, rich in colour and character, offered to the world for the first time in decades. For years, it has held its secrets close, watching the seasons turn from behind its sturdy walls. Now, it waits—patiently, gracefully—for a new custodian to roll up their sleeves and breathe fresh life into its aging interior finishes.

Within, the home unfolds with a well-mannered layout of its vintage: three generous bedrooms, two welcoming living areas, and a garage built for purpose. The retiring family who has loved this home for a lifetime now passes the key to you, with quiet hope and open arms. Yes, she is tired. The years have left their mark. But beneath the peeling patience and the quiet corners lies a sleeping glory—awaiting a gentle renovation, a thoughtful touch, or even a bold reimagining.

Set upon a full 665 square metres of freehold land, this is more than a house—it is a rare and substantial estate in the heart of sought-after Mount Roskill. Stroll to Margaret Griffen Park, catch a bus to the city, or walk to local shops and amenities with ease. For those who value character and classic brick and tile, scale, and the rare chance to modernise on their own terms, this property is not just an opportunity. It is an invitation. Come, turn the key, and begin the next chapter.
