54 Seacliffe Road, Hillsborough, Auckland City, Auckland

Nestled harmoniously on the harbourside with jaw-dropping views on 2,109m2 of freehold land, is a captivating do-up opportunity with the chance to create your dream home.

The original 1930's character bungalow is steeped in timeless charm with all the details you'll want to restore to their former glory - the wooden flooring hidden under the dated carpet, the leadlight features that could do with a lick of paint and those bay windows, simply sublime. While the fit out and finishings may not currently be cover-worthy, the sheer size on offer and flexibility is almost as exciting as the huge potential to maximise on the views over the harbour - you'll just need some imagination, planning and those wonderful consents.

The true allure of this property lies in the land. Exceptionally private, with established mature landscaping, it is more than just a classic kiwi slice of heaven - we'd love to hear how you'd configure the wishlist. Would you look to install a pool? Utilise the unfinished basement as garaging? Extend out the back to create an outdoor entertainment area? Set the scene and get started on your masterpiece - this combination of views, land and potential does not come around often - especially in single house zoning.

With stunning walks down by the water and easy access to main transport routes, you get the best of nature and infrastructure. Walkable local schools include Hillsborough School, Waikowhai Intermediate and Onehunga High - with lovely cafes en route for those that like to take a moment for themselves once the kids are at school.

Book the builder, the architect and the viewing - the estate would like to see this sold and for this cherished home to be reimagined ahead of its centenary.
