9 Bruce Street, Northcote Point, North Shore City, Auckland

Located on a 544sqm freehold corner site, this impressive Northcote Point property showcases classic character, family-friendly flow and exciting potential, now and in the future. The original home was crafted in the 1920s and is on the market for the first time in 22 years. Many charming bungalow features and details are still on display throughout and create an inviting ambiance.

A traditional front porch adds to the appealing street presence and opens into the wide entrance hall. Gleaming polished timber floors, solid doors, timber panelling and high batten ceilings tell a tale of yesteryear have been enhanced with modern updates in some areas.

Two bedrooms at this end of the home are serviced by the family bathroom with bath and sauna, while the formal lounge has an original fireplace and overlooks the front garden. The central kitchen and dining space is the hub of the home and has a large brick fireplace.

Upstairs, a large lounge is flooded with all day sun and showcases elevated views out across to the city skyline. The lounge flows out to an even bigger deck, which is an extremely generous space for al fresco entertaining and summer barbeques.

Downstairs, two more bedrooms have their own bathroom and entrance - ideal for teenagers or working from home.

As a huge bonus for the area, there is secure off-street parking for up to seven vehicles (including two garages) or a boat/campervan.

Bruce Street is located just 10 minutes from the CBD and Ponsonby and is an easy walk from bus stops, bars and eateries. Local schools are also a quick stroll or bike ride away.

While the long-term family home is comfortable to live in as it is, there is undeniably exciting potential here to refresh and reinvigorate the solid bones and classic character with a stunning renovation.
