Homes like this one do not surface often in Takapuna.

Held in a single ownership for twenty two years and quietly tenanted for fifteen of them, 3/43 Kitchener Road is entirely original. There is no half finished renovation to inherit. No previous owner's decisions to unpick. The home arrives exactly as it has always been, and the whole of its next chapter is still unwritten.

North east facing and elevated above the road, it takes the morning sun early and holds the light through the day. The floor plan is generous, two large double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate laundry and a substantial rumpus room that reads just as easily as a second living area, a home office or the place everyone else disappears to.

The kitchen, the bathrooms and the floor coverings all belong to another decade, and we would rather say so plainly than dress it up. What is not in question is the space, the position, and a clean council file with no unconsented work behind it. The work ahead is the good kind. Surfaces, finishes, and a home that ends up entirely your own.

Then there is Kitchener Road itself. Lake Pupuke lies along one side of the street, and the walk into Takapuna's centre takes you past Hurstmere Road, the cafes and the Sunday market that fills the town each week. Takapuna Beach is close enough for a swim before breakfast, with Rangitoto out on the horizon and the pale sweep of sand already busy by seven in the morning. Most weekends the car simply does not move.

Once the work is done, this is also the easiest kind of home to own. Cross lease, low maintenance, lock up and leave. Somewhere to come back to rather than something to look after.

Who lives in a house like this… you do.
