Classic charm meets modern comfort in this newly renovated 1960s bungalow, a home that feels like the classic Kiwi dream, with a generous backyard for the kids to run around and a deck made for entertaining.

Carefully updated while retaining the character that makes homes of this era so appealing, this three bedroom, one bathroom home has a relaxed, easy feel from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re looking for your first home, a place to raise the family or a smart addition to your investment portfolio, this one is well worth a look.

Set on an easy-care 751m² (more or less) section, this solid home has been thoughtfully updated to bring together the character of a well-established property with the comfort of modern living.

The interior has been renovated with quality appliances and a layout that works well for both everyday life and entertaining. Two generous decks, positioned at the front and rear of the home, give you plenty of options to enjoy the outdoors, whether it’s a quiet morning coffee or having friends and family around.

The backyard is where this home really comes into its own. There’s plenty of room for children and pets to play, with the fully fenced grounds providing a safe and private space to enjoy. The kitchen’s bay window looks out across the backyard too, a small but thoughtful feature that makes it easy to keep an eye on the kids while you’re cooking for the family.

Off-street parking is well catered for, with a carport and an additional space ready to be shaped to suit your needs. Whether it becomes a sleepout, studio, home office or mancave, the foundation is there, the rest is yours to create.

Location is another real highlight. Local shops, schools, daycares and public transport are all within an easy stroll, while the dog-friendly Kaipatiki Coastal Loop through Lauderdale Reserve is close by for a walk, a run or simply some time outdoors. When you need a little more, Glenfield Mall and Birkenhead Village are both within easy reach, with plenty of options for shopping, dining and everyday essentials. And with the CBD around 15 minutes away by car, you’re well connected without giving up the convenience of being in a quieter, more established neighborhood.

Opportunities like this don’t come along often - don’t hesitate, or this charming bungalow could soon be history!
