Purposefully placed on a massive full, flat 1,006m2 Freehold section in the highly sought after Birkenhead Point, this imposing 1880’s home has been owned by the same family for decades. Retirement now beckons affording the opportunity to secure this incredibly rare and iconic piece of New Zealand real estate.

A former hospital, this magnificent property displays many original features, from the soaring batten and board ceilings, gable roof architecture, Kauri floors to the brick fireplaces and bay windows and doors. With evidence of the multi-layered exterior verandah still apparent in parts – this beguiling 340m2 building could be restored, renovated or reimagined into a residence of enviable proportions.

Located moments from the Birkenhead ferry port and the desirable artisan community of Hinemoa Street with its retail, cafés and restaurants; number 32 is set well back from the road down a private driveway with many of the upstairs rooms benefitting from views out over the harbour toward the city skyline. Whilst the ground floor with its huge spaces has endless potential to accommodate a large open-plan living with second lounge, expansive kitchen and formal dining and there's plenty of opportunity to create an independent guest suite. A large, elevated deck with steps down to the flat wraparound lawn, and vast parking area with enough space to park a beloved boat as well as a motorhome and multiple cars – all combine to ensure that this character home can embrace the desires of a modern lifestyle whilst retaining her impressive pedigree!
