Some homes just make family life easier. Set on a generous 708sqm (more or less) in a quiet Glendowie pocket, 45 Pembroke Crescent is a single-level, brick-and-tile home built to last. North-facing, refreshed, and ready to move into.

The new kitchen sits at the heart of the home, the natural gathering point for school-night dinners and weekend catch-ups. Four bedrooms give everyone their own space, including one created from the former garage alongside a new laundry and storage space, adding practical family functionality. With fresh carpet, fresh paint, double glazing and a DVS ventilation system throughout, there’s nothing to do but unpack.

Out the back, a separate flexible room offers a real break from the main house. Use it as a quiet place to work now, and a teenage retreat as the family grows.

The land is the real luxury here. The north-facing backyard is private and sunny, with room for the kids, the dog and long afternoons outside. There’s even scope to add a pool down the track, if that’s on the wish list. Off-street parking takes care of the family cars.

Zoned for Glendowie School and Glendowie College, this home covers the full schooling journey from Year 1 to Year 13, with the College and Sacred Heart both within easy walking distance. Parks and reserves are close by for weekend walks and kids on bikes. St Heliers Village is just minutes away, with its cafés, restaurants and boutique shopping, along with the beach for summer swims, morning coffees on the waterfront and evening strolls along Tamaki Drive.

Single-level homes on full sites in this pocket of Glendowie rarely come up. Make sure you’re first through the door.

To be sold by auction on Wednesday 4 November 2026, at 10am (unless sold prior).
