Auction: 8-12 The Promenade, Takapuna on Thursday 1 October 2026 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)

Welcome to 42 Coroglen Avenue, a home that sits quietly in one of Birkenhead’s most treasured natural pockets. Here, the landscape that wraps around Coroglen Avenue and extends to the Eskdale Reserve, unfolds into a vast sweep of mature native trees and thriving birdlife. It’s a setting that feels more like a sanctuary than a suburb, where Kereru glide in daily and Tui call from the canopy. For families seeking nature at their doorstep, this is a beautiful find.

The home itself is a solid two-level construction, combining weatherboard and concrete block on a full concrete foundation; reassuring, enduring, and built for the long term. Upstairs you’ll find three generous bedrooms, a sun-filled lounge and dining area, and a super, family sized modern kitchen that anchors the living spaces as well as separate rooms for the shower, bath and toilet. Morning light pours through the windows, and the easy flow to the large deck makes this level the heart of everyday life; warm, bright, and perfect for gatherings.

Downstairs, the layout opens possibilities. A double internal-access garage, a rumpus room, an office nook and a fourth bedroom plus bathroom and laundry create a flexible zone ideal for older family members, or anyone wanting their own recreational space. It’s private, practical, and perfectly aligned with the needs of larger families who value separation and comfort.

Step outside and the lifestyle becomes even richer. With the Eskdale Reserve so close, adventure is part of the daily rhythm; bush walks, tree climbing, exploring streams, and discovering the wildlife that thrives here. And with the Chelsea Pony Club nearby, the young ones may soon find themselves adding riding boots to their weekend routine. This is a neighbourhood where childhood feels expansive and full of possibility.

I’m ringing the bell on this opportunity, calling in the buyers that want space, peace, lush green surrounds and proximity to the motorway and the CBD.

Make time to view early as opportunities like this are quickly recognised and sold to active buyers. Is that YOU?
