CHARACTER STYLE, SEA VIEWS, AMAZING LOCATION!


On the market for the first time in over 50 years, this much-loved family home is ready for new magical memories to be made. Sitting in a prime, elevated spot on one of Onehunga’s most desirable streets with amazing views of the Manukau Harbour, there’s so much space here for growing families to enjoy the best of suburban living - including a swimming pool!

Built to last, this gorgeous 1920's bungalow exudes charming warmth and character throughout - with beautiful lead lights, polished wood floors, bay window seats, architrave details and exposed ceiling beams. On a practical level, the spacious interior offers flexible options to suit your needs: three bedrooms + two living (or four bedrooms + one living/formal dining) plus an additional room, garage (internal entry) and further storage on the lower level.

This is the spot for all the family gatherings - you’ll love the feel of big ‘heart and soul’ energy, created by the seamless connection of the living spaces, inside and out. Entertaining and family get-togethers are a breeze, with a huge, modernised kitchen opening out to the elevated patio. Whether you’re hosting the masses or enjoying a quiet moment, the scenic outlook and cosy shelter make this arguably the best spot in the house, all year round.

The large and private pool will keep the kids cool over the warmer seasons, and entertained for hours. Surrounded by sub-tropical greenery, there’s space in spades to create the landscaped outdoor oasis of your dreams.

Whilst comfortably liveable as it is, the most exciting appeal here is the potential to elevate the magic and create an extraordinary ‘family home’ masterpiece. All the ingredients are here: space, position and locale – just bring your vision!

The location is simply unbeatable, being an easy walk to the picturesque Jellicoe and Cornwall Parks, excellent local schools, vibrant Onehunga shops and cafes plus scenic coastal walkways. Daily commutes are a cinch with bus and train connections nearby, or zip to the CBD or further south to the airport on the SW motorway in no time.
