9 Peak Road, Kaukapakapa, Auckland Huge Section 1940s Elegance

This lovely, very sturdily constructed two-bedroom home was built in the 1940s, originally with three bedrooms. On a huge 1427m2 section opposite Peak Village, this character home has been fastidiously refurbished over the years whilst retaining the classic features of the era. Renovations have included reconfiguration to two bedrooms with one bathroom, a modern kitchen with butler's pantry and a beautiful Belling cooker with four ovens, a 5-burner gas hob, and breakfast bar. The handsome contemporary bathroom is tiled, and the home's hot water operates on gas. A fireplace and HRV system balance the temperature no matter the weather. Classic timber flooring, a high stud, spaciousness, and excellent flow lend elegance, as do many of the in-built 40s era features such as wall niches. The breakfast bar opens onto the dining room and out to a large rear deck. The roof and guttering were completely replaced in 2018. Outside, water tanks add potential for a self-sufficient lifestyle, and the house is clad with almost indestructible interlocking cement panels. Sited on a tad more than a third of an acre, the level section in lawn with a small orchard is open to the expansion of your creative imagination but already includes an oversized double garage and workshop, garden shed, glasshouse and two woodsheds. The property has been well maintained and appears in great condition. It's certainly large enough to consider additional garaging, more gardens, a swimming pool perhaps or the inclusion of a minor dwelling or tiny home. The home reflects the genteel era in which it was built, and the 1427m2 inviting creative use suggests this property on the edge of Kaukapakapa within a few minutes of Helensville and 25 minutes from major shopping in Silverdale, won't be available for long. Strike before your iron cools.
