In a well-connected corner of Glendowie, this beautifully transformed and extended single-level home offers space, flexibility and exceptional outdoor living. It’s a long-term choice whether you’re raising a family or downsizing without giving up space.

Privately positioned behind gates on the sunny side of Riddell Road, it looks like a classic from the street but lives like a brand-new home. Extensive upgrades in 2022 included a new Colorsteel roof, plumbing, electrical and double glazing.

The layout is easy to live in. Open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas flowing outdoors form the heart of everyday life, while a substantial second living space with a tucked-away office zone (and own entrance) can evolve as needs change: a kids’ lounge, a work-from-home space, a mix of both, or a generous fourth bedroom giving guests independence.

Three further bedrooms include an appealing main suite with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and sliding doors to the north-facing deck.

Outdoors, is where this home really shines. Facing north for sun all day, the expansive deck is a natural extension of the living space, with a large louvre system providing shade and shelter for long summer lunches or evening barbecues. The flat, fully fenced lawn gives kids and pets room to roam, with space for a pool if desired. Established planting wraps it all in privacy, creating a sunny, wonderfully secluded retreat.

A custom laundry, ducted central heating and separate cooling add everyday comfort, with garaging and additional off-street parking behind the gates.

When it’s time to head out, you’re moments from reserves, coastal walkways and St Heliers Village, with its cafés and shops. Regular buses connect across Auckland, while the scenic waterfront commute to the CBD is another drawcard.

Glendowie College is directly across the road, Glendowie School and Sacred Heart College are about a five-minute walk away, and St Heliers School is also within easy walking distance.

For families, there’s room to grow without needing to move. For downsizers, it’s single-level living, minimal upkeep and secure lock-and-leave convenience, without sacrificing space or privacy.

More than a stepping stone, this is a home that keeps pace with life.
