Description

After more than 30 years of devoted ownership, the time has come to close one chapter and hand this much-loved home to its next owner. Filled with decades of laughter, milestones, and everyday moments, it has been truly cherished from the very beginning, that warmth is still felt the moment you step inside.

Built in the 1980s and remarkably preserved, this home is a genuine time capsule of its era, proudly retaining its original finishes, classic layout, and retro charm that so fondly reflects the character of the time. Unlike many homes that have been stripped back or modernised, this one remains wonderfully authentic and untouched, offering an increasingly rare opportunity to secure something honest, original, and full of personality.

Comfortable and completely liveable as is, yet bursting with potential, it presents the perfect blank canvas for those with vision. Whether you're looking to refresh, renovate, or fully transform, the solid bones, practical floor plan, and generous proportions create endless scope to add value and make it your own. It's the kind of property renovators, first-home buyers, and savvy investors are always searching for - affordable, well located, and packed with upside.

Inside, you'll find three bedrooms, a family bathroom with separate toilet, open-plan living and dining, a functional kitchen, and a separate laundry. While a welcoming front porch, sunny rear deck, carport, gardens, lawns, and excellent off-street parking provide space to enjoy now and enhance later.

Positioned on an attractive cross-lease with road frontage and no shared driveway, the independence and accessibility only add to the appeal.

Location is key, the property enjoys easy access to the CBD via Ranui Train Station, and major roads connect you quickly to the wider Auckland region. Local shops, cafés, and services are all nearby, with larger hubs like North West and West City just a short drive away. Families will appreciate various schooling and daycare options, along with parks and green spaces like Starling Park and Birdwood Winery Reserve, perfect for recreation and weekend enjoyment. This location blends convenience, lifestyle, and growth potential, making it ideal for both first-home buyers and investors.

Original, heartfelt, and brimming with possibility - bring your vision, renovate, and reap the rewards.

Opportunities like this, held for decades and offered for the first time in a generation, don't last long.
