Proud and gracious, this 1920's bungalow sits in an elevated spot on one of Onehunga’s most sought-after streets, and is on the market for the first time in over 50 years. Generously-sized for growing families with fantastic sea views plus a swimming pool, this much-loved home is THE spot for incredible family living for years to come.

Charming warmth and character exude throughout the home, with beautiful lead lights, polished wood floors, bay window seats, architrave details and exposed ceiling beams. On a practical level, the huge interior offers flexible configuration options to suit your needs: three bedrooms + two living (or four bedrooms + one living/formal dining) plus an additional room, garage (internal entry) and further storage on the lower level.

You’ll love the feel of big ‘heart and soul’ energy, created by the seamless connection of the living spaces, inside and out. Entertaining and family get-togethers are a breeze, with a huge, modernised kitchen opening out to the elevated patio. Whether you’re hosting the masses or enjoying a quiet moment, the scenic outlook and cosy shelter make this arguably the best spot in the house, all year round.

The large and private pool will keep the kids cool over the warmer seasons, and entertained for hours. Surrounded by sub-tropical greenery, there’s space in spades to create the landscaped outdoor oasis of your dreams.

Whilst comfortably liveable as it is, the most exciting appeal here is the potential to elevate the magic and create an extraordinary ‘family home’ masterpiece. All the ingredients are here: space, position and locale – just bring your vision!

The location is simply unbeatable, being an easy walk to the picturesque Jellicoe and Cornwall Parks, excellent local schools, vibrant Onehunga shops and cafes plus scenic coastal walkways. Daily commutes are a cinch with bus and train connections nearby, or zip to the CBD or further south to the airport on the SW motorway in no time.
