Upon the esteemed corner of Rowan Rd and Mount Albert Road, in the heart of Royal Oak, stands a distinguished 1920s bungalow of fine English grace. Commanding a generous 936sqm allotment with wide road frontage and a slightly elevated position, this corner site offers prominence and peace of mind—safe from heavy flood. It beckons the visionary: developer, renovator, or one who seeks a home of substance—a canvas upon which great things may be wrought.
Inside, soaring ceilings and abundant native rimu timber doors speak to a bygone era of craftsmanship. Four generous double bedrooms offer ample storage, while an open-plan kitchen flows to both casual and formal dining areas. A separate living room provides quiet respite, and outdoors, a vast covered deck and sun-drenched garden await alfresco leisure—perfect for afternoon teas or evening soirées.
For those with a spirit of restoration, this beauty awaits a willing hand. With vision, one may yet restore her to former glory.
Beyond the walls lies unrivalled convenience. Stroll to charming cafés, boutique shops, and the green expanses of Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill. Prestigious schools, including St Cuthbert's College, are but three kilometres away, with supermarkets and transport links at your doorstep.
Whether developer, renovator, or family seeking a place to call home in sought-after Royal Oak—this property is a rare and perfect pick. Opportunities of such character and potential are seldom seen.
