This 1890s character home has been beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated. Relocated to its elevated site in the early 2000s, it sits on 1.28 hectares of land positioned to capture wide, uninterrupted views of the Kaipara Harbour tidal reaches and the surrounding wetlands. Only a short drive to the Helensville township, this peaceful setting still enjoys everyday convenience.
Inside, the home stays true to its roots with a grand sense of scale, featuring a three metre high ceiling and polished New Zealand native timber floors. The 245 square metre floor plan is anchored by a large open plan kitchen and dining area, complete with a timber-topped island, butler's pantry, and high-end appliances. A charming fireplace in the living area adds warmth and character, creating a cosy spot to gather on cooler evenings. This space flows directly out to a wrap-around veranda and a covered deck, providing an effortless connection to the rural landscape and the views beyond. Traditional detailing, such as the copper spouting, adds to the timeless appeal of the home’s exterior.
The current owners have significantly upgraded the home for modern living. A private master wing on the upper level serves as a quiet retreat with its own walk-in wardrobe and a recently renovated ensuite. A second bathroom on the main floor has also been fully renovated to a high-quality finish for family and guests.
Beyond the main house, the property is set up for flexibility. The detached double garage includes a large attached room, perfect for a professional home office, a creative studio, or a potential secondary income opportunity. The 1.28-hectare block is practical and established, featuring fenced paddocks, a greenhouse, and landscaped gardens.
This is a rare character home that combines charm, modern comfort, and a functional rural lifestyle with stunning views. Contact us today to arrange a viewing and experience this exceptional property for yourself.
