Elevated, freehold and tightly held, 529A Riddell Road delivers the kind of family scale that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in Glendowie. Five bedrooms across two levels, sun-drenched living and wide decks catching glimpses of the water. This is a home built for the way growing families actually live.

The upper level centres on a polished, open-plan heart. A modern kitchen with island and breakfast bar flows through to dining, then into an expansive lounge warmed by a wood burner. Rich timber floors run throughout, and glass sliding doors open onto wide, sun-soaked decks where the outlook takes centre stage. Morning coffee, long summer evenings, boats drifting past: this is where the entertaining takes care of itself, with expansive water views across the Hauraki Gulf and Tamaki River as your backdrop.

Downstairs, a separate lower level adds exceptional flexibility. Two further bedrooms, a bathroom, seperate toilet, and a generous rumpus open onto a large covered patio, creating space for teenagers, guests or extended family to spread out. Beyond that, a flat, fully fenced lawn, a pool and lush established gardens give the kids room to roam.
