Tucked away on a peaceful no-exit street, this enchanting 1880s workers' cottage is a home where history and modern living exist in perfect harmony. Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully extended, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the charm of a bygone era without compromising on the comforts of today.
Lovingly transformed over time, the original cottage has been seamlessly complemented by a contemporary extension, creating a home that is both full of character and exceptionally liveable. Original features continue to tell the story of its remarkable past, including authentic graffiti still visible on a bedroom door frame dating back to the 1880s-a fascinating glimpse into the home's rich history.
Offering three bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, the home has been designed for comfortable everyday living. Two wood burners, a gas fireplace and a heat pump ensure warmth and ambience throughout the seasons.
The heart of the home flows effortlessly outdoors, where beautifully established gardens create a private haven for entertaining, relaxing or nurturing your own vegetable garden. From the welcoming front porch and the third bedroom, you'll enjoy delightful peeks of the sea, adding another layer of charm to this unique property. Off-street parking provides the convenience so often sought but rarely found in homes of this vintage.
Eclectically styled and deeply loved by its current owner, every space reflects creativity, warmth and individuality. It is a home with soul-one that invites its next owners to embrace its history while adding their own story.
Positioned on a quiet, family-friendly no-exit street, you'll enjoy a peaceful setting while remaining just moments from everything that makes Onehunga so desirable. Families will appreciate zoning for Onehunga Primary School, Royal Oak Intermediate and Onehunga High School, while nearby Cornwall Park, Jellicoe Park, Onehunga's vibrant cafes and restaurants, Dress Smart, public transport and motorway connections ensure exceptional convenience.
Character homes of this age are increasingly rare, and few offer such a successful blend of heritage, personality and modern functionality. Rich in history, beautifully evolved and ready for its next chapter, 14 Matiere Road is a home that will capture your heart from the moment you arrive.
