This impressive St Heliers brick-and-tile beauty — the end in a boutique block of three — will leave you seriously impressed with its location, gorgeous interiors, and exceptional outdoor space. It will make you rethink what a unit can be.
At 115m², it lives more like a standalone home — bigger than most new builds and beautifully modernised with warmth and character they can't replicate. Blond Rimu floors and original cornicing shine against fresh paint and carpet, while plantation shutters add timeless good looks. The bones are beautiful; the updates are contemporary.
The open-plan living is a standout feature, offering real functionality and space to actually gather. A stunning family-sized kitchen (less than five-years-old) with a freestanding island and serious storage flows through to dining and living that's elevated and light-filled, with sliders opening to one of two outdoor patios.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned with built-in robes. Downstairs, a converted basement opens to a second paved patio — a flexible space that adapts to whatever you need.
The backyard is huge by any standards; fully-fenced, fully irrigated and exclusively yours, it features a pancake-flat lawn that looks after itself with room for kids, dogs, or simply doing nothing — surrounded by established planting for privacy. Behind the secure electronic gates, there's off-street parking for cars, a trailer, motorhome, or boat.
The north-facing elevation delivers sun from morning through to evening. Warm, bright, and HRV-controlled for year-round comfort.
Schooling options are a big drawcard — with St Heliers and Glendowie schools all nearby, you’re zoned for Churchill Park School, St Ignatius, Glendowie College and Baradene College, walking distance to Sacred Heart, and surrounded by a range of top-performing kindergartens and pre-schools.
Whether you're a couple, a small family, downsizing, or an investor planting a flag in one of Auckland's most sought-after neighbourhoods, this one keeps giving without asking you to settle.
A strong performer now, with real potential to add further value for those with an eye for it.
