Auction: Cnr Tamaki Dr and St Heliers Bay Rd (Branch Office) on Tuesday 1 December 2026 at 11:00AM (unless sold prior)
Whether you're stepping up, downsizing or buying into the Bays for the first time, this beautifully transformed 1930s bungalow deserves your attention. Timeless but ready for now, it blends the charm of its era with the modern style and convenience of a brand-new home — all on one level.
Set back from the road, the home enjoys a sunny northeast aspect, with plenty of space around it to capture the light. Inside, original features, including matai floors and decorative cornicing, add personality, while the complete interior renovation gives an entirely fresh contemporary feel. Why settle for a characterless new build or a home sharing walls with neighbours when you can have all this?
Generous open-plan living that is wonderfully light, with an easy connection to the outdoors. A family-sized kitchen, complete with Fisher & Paykel appliances, an induction hob and a sociable island, flows through to the dining and living, where French doors open onto a large deck with built-in seating — a natural extension of the living area and perfect for entertaining.
Beyond, the flat lawn is perfectly sized to enjoy (with minimal upkeep), offering room for kids to play, pets and an established tree for shade when you need it.
Three bedrooms are complemented by a stunning fully-tiled bathroom with an indulgent double-sized walk-in shower. There's also a cleverly concealed laundry and storage zone behind sliding doors in the hallway to keep everyday clutter out of sight.
You have your own driveway, a single garage and generous off-street parking, including room for a boat or caravan. The section is virtually fully fenced, with the option to add a gate across the driveway for complete enclosure.
The prime location is a particular draw for young families. Bear Park Daycare is steps away with no roads to cross, St Heliers School is at the end of the street, and Churchill Park is a few blocks on. The Waimarie Street shops are one way and Riddell Road the other, with St Heliers village and the waterfront only minutes away.
A charming, modernised single-level home in a sought-after Bays location, and an increasingly rare opportunity to make your move (up or down) at this price point.
