There is a lovely sense of home at 756 Highgate. Set among established trees and gardens, this much-loved property has been held in the same ownership for 50 years. Its elevated position brings privacy, a beautiful outlook across Glenleith and North East Valley, and wonderful sun throughout the day.

One of the home’s most special features is the way it captures the sun. Morning light streams into the lounge through the two windows framing the fireplace, with the sun continuing around the home throughout the day and into the afternoon across the lounge, kitchen and dining spaces. It gives these everyday living areas a naturally bright and welcoming feel.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area enjoys a wide window drawing your eye to the hills beyond and connects naturally with the front lounge. There is room to settle in and enjoy the home as it is, with the opportunity to add your own touches over time.

Built in the early 1960s, with solid brick construction and three bedrooms, each with a wardrobe. A heat pump, ceiling and underfloor insulation, a single carport and generous storage beneath the house add to its practical appeal.

The garden is a lovely part of life here. Established trees give it a sense of shelter, while flowering plants bring colour through the seasons. There is a flat lawn to enjoy and quiet spots to sit with a coffee, soak up the sun and look out towards the green hills.

Māori Hill’s location brings so much within easy reach. The park and a bus stop are just down the road, with Ross Creek, No7 Balmac, Columba College and John McGlashan College nearby. From here, you can also walk downhill towards Otago University and the CBD.

After 50 years with one family, this home is ready for its next owners. For those looking to establish themselves in Māori Hill, 756 Highgate offers a beautiful position, abundant sunshine, a restful outlook and the simple pleasure of a place that feels like home.

To be sold by auction on 23 October, unless sold prior. Information pack available on request.
