Seven years ago, the owners of 14 Lambeth Road sat down with Jalcon Homes and designed this home from scratch.
Not from a catalogue. From scratch - shaped by research trips to Australia, years of thinking about how a family actually lives, and a commitment to getting every detail right.
The result is a home that rewards you the moment you step inside.
American oak flooring, 2.7m stud heights, full-height commercial-grade sliders, fully tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating, a scullery, engineered marble benchtops, German soft-close cabinetry and even a fully insulated garage. The specification here is exceptional.
The home offers four bedrooms thoughtfully spread across two levels.
Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys afternoon sun, sunset views and a pleasant outlook towards Mt Albert. This level also includes two additional bedrooms and a second lounge, giving children their own space to retreat.
Downstairs, a second primary suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite offers outstanding flexibility for extended family, an au pair, guests, or a teenager wanting a little more independence. There is also a separate multi-use room, offering huge versatility as a home gym, home office, media room, or whatever best suits your lifestyle.
The southwest-facing backyard has been the heart of family life. Afternoon sun pours across the deck, with a spa pool, outdoor fire, lawn and garden shed creating a space equally suited to entertaining and everyday living.
Year-round comfort is assured with a gas fireplace, heat pump, gas cooking, continuous hot water, EV charging infrastructure and fibre internet. Jalcon Master Build Guarantee plans, paint codes, spare tiles and remotes will all be passed on to the next owners.
After seven happy years, the vendors are heading north for a sea change.
Lambeth Road is one of those streets people rarely leave. Friendly neighbours, a genuine sense of community and an enviable central location place Kingsland, Mt Eden Village, Morningside and Dominion Road within easy reach. Morning coffee from Cazador, pastries from the French Bakery, and some of Auckland's best local food destinations are all close by.
Families will also appreciate zoning for Edendale School, Balmoral School (Years 7-8) and Mount Albert Grammar School.
Designed with intent. Built without compromise. Loved for seven years.
Now ready for its next family adventure.
