15 Waiata Road, Onetangi, Waiheke Island, Auckland All that Glitters is not Gold

Waiheke offers such a diversity of housing stock at any given price level that it can be head-spinning for the uninitiated. In 2024, far more baches than ever before came to the market 'all done up'. This is not one of those. Instead, what is on offer is 'simple pleasures'. The pleasure of sunny flat gardens - ideal for oldies and young families - or a holiday home buyer wanting space to park the big boat and have flat land for extra tents at Christmas.

The pleasure of a quiet road only a bit over 1k to Onetangi Beach and a walkable distance to a bus stop and superette. 15 Waiata Road may not glitter now; in fact, it is stuck in a 1985 time warp, but the astute buyer will know what they need to do to make it shine and be happy to do it 'their way'. We're not saying it has to be done right away, as some will want to buy the best position they can and then upgrade as they can. Even landscaping and paint alone will go a long way to making this one yours!

With the house hidden from the street by plantings and hedging on the sunny west side, this is one of those houses you would never know was there, but its position will appeal to many. For first-time home buyers, downsizers, and bach buyers, this two-bedroom, 65m2 plus decking home on an 814m2 section may be just what you are looking for.

You will know 15 Waiata Road is different when you feel the morning sun pouring into the living areas. Sometimes, adding your own charm or expansion to a deserving house in the right location works out best, especially when it's Onetangi and located in a 'traditional residential' rather than a 'bush residential' land unit/zone. You can easily walk footpaths to the shops, the bus, or down to the beach in under 1500 metres - just a healthy walk!

There is plenty to choose from on Waiheke in this price range, but not if you're looking for flat and sunny in Onetangi.
