Elevated, sundrenched and rich in charm, this beautifully presented California bungalow balances classic 1920s character with a modern edge. Lovingly held by the same owner for 25 years, this cherished Grey Lynn home combines sought-after timeless street appeal with thoughtful recent updates.
Character and warmth
Traditional weatherboard construction, polished timber flooring throughout and a wide welcoming hallway create an immediate sense of charm. The home retains its original bungalow character while offering comfort and functionality for easy modern living.
Outdoor entertaining
A private front courtyard provides a peaceful setting for morning coffee, afternoon drinks and evening gatherings, with built-in lighting creating an inviting atmosphere after dark. At the rear, the generous deck takes full advantage of the elevation and views, providing an excellent space for entertaining or simply relaxing outdoors.
Light-filled living
Two well-appointed, north-facing bedrooms enjoy excellent natural light. The open-plan living and dining area is centred around a brand-new kitchen, with French doors opening directly to the deck. A gas fireplace and heat pump provide year-round climate control.
Workshop and future potential
Off-street parking is complemented by a spacious garage or workshop, while the under-house area offers useful storage and the potential to add further value in the future, subject to necessary council approvals.
Positioned in the heart of sought-after Grey Lynn, the home is close to popular cafés, the West Lynn village, boutique shops, parks and local amenities. While walkability to the ever-popular Ponsonby Road is excellent, commuting is easy with motorway connections north, south, east and west all within minutes' drive. Families will appreciate the zoning for Grey Lynn Primary School and Western Springs College.
After 25 years, the current owner is ready to begin the next chapter, creating an opportunity to secure a distinctive Grey Lynn home with character, views, outdoor living and genuine future potential. Call today to arrange a private viewing or see you at the next open home.
