79A Fancourt Street, Meadowbank, Auckland City, Auckland

When the architect owner designed this home for his family in the 90s, he created a space they loved so much that they’ve stayed ever since. From the moment you step into the spacious entrance hall with its soaring ceiling, it’s clear that space, light, and warmth were central to the design. As you move through to the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area — flowing seamlessly to a stunning North-facing outdoor space — you’ll see how the home makes the most of its tranquil setting, backing onto the serene, 45-acre Purewa Cemetery.

Upstairs, the generous primary suite has its own balcony with city skyline views. Another bedroom and a study are also located upstairs, with a third bedroom downstairs—ideal for guests or kids, with work-from-home potential.

The separate laundry, double internal-access garage and plentiful off-street will also be valuable to a new owner, as will be the durable construction from materials such as timeless weatherboard and copper spouting.

Centrally located, this property is within walking distance of Meadowbank Village with its shops, eateries, and Meadow restaurant. The Meadowbank train station and bus network are nearby, as are great schools including Meadowbank Primary, Remuera Intermediate, Selwyn College, and Baradene College. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the proximity to Orakei Basin, local reserves, and the new walkway and cycle path.

The present owners have spent many happy years entertaining and relaxing in their dream home, but now it’s time for someone new – maybe a family, professionals, or downsizers looking for a spacious and easy-care home in a central Auckland suburb. If you think this may be you, we look forward to welcoming you to an Open Home or organising a private viewing to suit.
