At the end of a quiet Glenview cul-de-sac, behind established gardens and mature trees, 28 Homestead Place feels a world away from the pace of the city. Private, peaceful and unexpectedly expansive, this is the kind of home that reveals something different around every corner.
Upstairs, the clock has largely stopped in 1982. Solid brick and block construction, generous proportions and the unmistakable design language of its era give this part of the home a wonderfully nostalgic feel. It is, quite literally, a time machine, albeit one with a few modern comforts. Ducted heating and cooling, double glazing to the bedrooms and a renovated laundry quietly bring it into the present without taking away its character.
Then you head downstairs, and everything changes.
The lower level has been completely transformed into a contemporary living space designed for the way people live now. A second living area creates genuine separation and flexibility, complemented by a convenient kitchenette, beautifully renovated bathroom and fourth bedroom, currently operating as a dedicated home office for the vendors' business.
Outside is where the property really earns its stripes. The established landscaping creates a private, almost resort-like atmosphere, with somewhere to entertain, somewhere to grow your own produce, somewhere to soak in the spa and somewhere to simply sit in the sun and switch off. There are raised garden beds, mature trees, generous lawn and, naturally, a lemon tree. It wouldn't be a classic Kiwi home without one.
With 240m² (more or less) of living space on 787m² (more or less) of freehold land, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, triple internal-access garaging and plenty of off-street parking, there is room here for families to spread out, work from home, entertain and grow into the next chapter.
And then there is the location. With parks in every direction, a one-minute drive to State Highway 3, straightforward access to the Waikato Expressway via Te Ara Pekapeka Bridge, and the hospital close by, everyday life is remarkably convenient. The nearby Peacocke development also provides an exciting layer of future growth and investment appeal.
The vendors have already purchased, settled and moved on. Their next chapter has begun, and that creates a genuine opportunity for someone ready to begin theirs.
If you've been waiting for a home with space, personality, privacy and something a little different, this may be the one worth seeing. Come and experience 28 Homestead Place for yourself.
