A timeless and elegant bungalow in one of Onehunga's best pockets, 33 Normans Hill Road is a home to nurture those who reside within.
From the street, this home gives little away. Beyond the gates, a substantial 1920s bungalow unfolds over two levels, with an elevated position that opens towards the harbour. It's character-filled and offers real flexibility for a family.
Upstairs is where the home comes into its own. The main lounge is large and relaxed, anchored by a woodburner and the warmth of its original era. Then there's the kitchen - generous, open and made for a crowd, it connects with the dining area before wide doors pull everything out onto the deck. Elevated above the neighbourhood, this is where you'll catch the harbour in the distance, the afternoon sun, and probably spend far more time than intended. The master suite offers a walk-in robe and ensuite, while a second bedroom and bathroom complete the upper level.
Downstairs changes the rhythm of the house completely. Two more bedrooms, a study, storage room and another living area make it incredibly adaptable. Teenagers could claim it. Guests could disappear down there. Work could stay away from the rest of the house. Or open the doors and let it become part of the pool area beyond and what a pool area it is.
Large, private and surrounded by established greenery, it feels more like somewhere you'd escape to than something you'd expect to find in central Onehunga. There's lawn and garden to enjoy, a vege garden tucked below, space to entertain and enough separation from the house for summer afternoons to turn into summer evenings without trying too hard.
The practical side is equally generous. A gated entrance, carport and off-street parking for multiple vehicles take care of the everyday, while the freehold title is another important box firmly ticked.
Normans Hill has long been one of those Onehunga pockets people tend to hold onto. It's quiet and elevated, yet cafes, Jellicoe Park and Onehunga Lagoon are all within walking distance. The village, transport links and motorway connections are close, and the school run to a number of Auckland's private schools is an easy one.
There simply aren't many like it. Motivated vendors have moved on and this home is ready for its next owners. Claim it as yours today.
