There is a lot to be said for a single-level family home that has been properly renovated, has a generous garden and sits in a central location without being right on the street. At 22 Rockfield Road, the owners have taken a 1950s house and made it work for the way they live, with a contemporary layout, excellent proportions and plenty of room for a young family to spread out.
Having designed the renovation themselves, the owners have made some smart decisions along the way. The kitchen is a particularly good example, with a substantial island, generous storage and ample work surfaces, all positioned to keep the living and dining areas connected. It is a kitchen that works just as well for the daily routine as it does when friends come over, with doors opening directly to the deck and garden.
• The afternoon sun makes the outdoor living especially appealing, and the generous section gives children room to play while leaving plenty of space for a proper gathering around the BBQ. Inside, a separate living room provides a welcome alternative to the main living area, whether the family is watching a movie, entertaining different groups or simply needing a little space of their own.
• The bathrooms have also received considerable attention, with high-specification finishes and rainhead showers, while the integrated EV charger is a useful addition for buyers already making the switch to electric.
• What makes the property particularly attractive is the combination of space and convenience. Ellerslie Primary School is nearby, Peacocks Ellerslie is directly across the road and the motorway network makes travelling north or south straightforward. Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill are close enough to enjoy regularly, while Mt Smart Stadium is within easy walking distance for concerts, Warriors games and other major events.
For those looking for a renovated, single-level home with a generous section in a genuinely convenient part of Auckland, 22 Rockfield Road is well worth your attention.
Your earliest inspection is recommended.
