8 Jackson Street, Onehunga, Auckland City, Auckland

This home was built in the 1950’s back when native timbers plus great craftspeople still co-existed. The original brick cladding is still there, but it has been resurfaced in concrete plaster to a high quality finish, which will last well beyond most current cladding systems. Upstairs there are three bedrooms with living area, kitchen and

bathroom. Downstairs there is a fourth bedroom, another kitchen, bathroom and living area, perfect for extended family, or flatmate/s wanting some extra privacy. There is also a garage, (with auto door), and off-street parking for two further vehicles.

Set in a shared driveway arrangement with two more modern dwellings, with closed circuit security camera on the entrance, this is a super secure property, all backing onto little known but delightful Sutties Reserve park grounds, (there is an exclusive use pathway linking the home to the park). The driveway, retaining walls, and general infrastructure was carried out meticulously by a local builder well known for quality “high spec.” construction and attention to detail. This home could still be further modernised with a newer kitchen/s etc. but the structure of the house and its surrounds is super solid, and will outlast most of the currently available housing stock.
