A bespoke, single-level sanctuary

From the street, you would never quite guess the story behind 27 Tawa Road. Made for everyday life, what you see here today is the result of clever planning.

In 2019, the original 1950's home was stripped back to its slab and brick walls, then carefully rebuilt around a simple idea: to create a warm, dry, efficient home that would be genuinely easy to live in.

Everything is on one level, with wide openings, easy indoor-outdoor flow and north facing sunshine following the home throughout the day. Inside, the spaces are relaxed and highly functional. Generous living and dining areas connect naturally with the impressive kitchen and outdoors along with a proper pantry and laundry offering practicality. The master bedroom suite is simply wonderful, with a walk-through wardrobe and sizeable ensuite. Further, there is a second bedroom and bathroom, along with an additional flexible room that can move easily between home office, craft room, nursery or whatever life requires.

Outside is where 27 Tawa Road becomes something genuinely remarkable. Over the years, the owners have created an incredibly productive edible garden landscape, with established fruit trees, vegetables, berries, grapes and more. For someone who loves the idea of growing their own food, the groundwork has been done. But you certainly don't have to. The beauty of this property is that the garden can evolve with its next owner - retain the productive landscape, simplify it, create more lawn, or reshape the outdoor spaces entirely to suit your lifestyle. The same flexibility applies to off-street parking. While the garden currently takes centre stage, the existing driveway and concrete parking pad remain in place, allowing parking to be reinstated easily if preferred.

Extensive features such as StoTherm Mineral wool insulation, uPVC double glazing and a German Zehnder filtered ventilation system create a home that stays warm, dry and comfortable throughout the seasons, while passive solar principles, heat-pump hot water and considered water and energy use make everyday living impressively efficient.

And despite its almost micro-lifestyle feel, this is still very much central Auckland living on your own 375sqm freehold section. Cornwall Park is approximately 550 metres away, with local cafes, public transport and the wider conveniences of One Tree Hill all within easy reach.

After years spent creating and enjoying this remarkable property, the owners are moving on to their next adventure. Now it’s simply a question of who gets to make it their own.
