Do-Up Opportunity – Must Be Sold

Forget the CV. Forget the last sale price. Forget the online estimates. Our overseas vendor is genuinely motivated and has given clear instructions to sell.

Commanding magnificent, uninterrupted views across the Manukau Harbour and Puketutu Island, this substantial family home presents an exceptional do-up opportunity on a generous 1,270m² section bordering the Waikowhai Reserve. Offering a rare combination of breathtaking views, natural privacy, and the reassurance of protected reserve land behind, this is a property with incredible potential. Buyers looking to renovate, add value, and secure a truly special position should not miss this opportunity.

Built in the 1970s, this spacious 261m² home (according to Auckland Council records), constructed of brick, cedar and concrete block, is spread over two levels and offers five bedrooms, an office, and a generous rumpus room or second living area. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area opens onto wraparound decking, perfectly positioned to capture the spectacular harbour outlook. A large double garage with internal access via the separate laundry adds further practicality.

While the home is ready for renovation, its generous proportions, versatile layout, and exceptional setting provide the perfect foundation to create something truly special. Whether you're looking to modernise, reconfigure, or simply refresh, the potential here is undeniable.

Conveniently located close to parks, local shops, public transport, motorway access, and zoned for Halsey Drive School, Waikowhai Intermediate, and Lynfield College, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial family home with outstanding views, a generous landholding, and exceptional future potential.

With so much to offer, this type of home in such a prime location is a rare find. Our vendors have given clear instructions to sell, so do not miss out on this incredible opportunity. Call now.
