OUR VENDORS HAVE NOW PURCHASED AND ENCOURAGE ALL OFFERS ABOVE $5,000,000 (LAND VALUE $5,300,000 CV $5,850,000)

2 MINNEHAHA AVENUE, TAKAPUNA

"The Oaks" as it is famously known, is located on the Golden Mile in one of Takapuna's best addresses. Number 2 Minnehaha Avenue is a magnificent property offering a large character home on 1083m2 of flat land.

Situated in a prime location with Thorne Bay Beach at the end of the street, and Lake Pupuke across the road, you have the best of both worlds! Takapuna and Milford shops, cafes, bars, local eateries and local amenities are all within easy walking distance. The home built in the 1920s is a charming character home with original timber flooring and a floor area of 370m2.

The modern kitchen offers an Island bench that serves as a breakfast bar and a scullery that provides great storage and flows to a good-sized laundry. The kitchen flows to an informal seating area, which flows out to the heated swimming pool and outdoor courtyard with a built-in spa pool, perfect for relaxing and alfresco dining. Leading off the kitchen is a generous formal lounge that opens out to gorgeous flat expansive grounds, boasting west-facing afternoon sun.

An adjoining large formal dining area is ideal for hosting large family gatherings. A powder room flows off this space providing good separation for guests when entertaining. The spacious master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe is also located on the ground floor and is positioned perfectly for the afternoon sun.

The remaining three double bedrooms are located on the upper level with a large family bathroom to service these rooms. Two of these bedrooms face out over the grounds with the other bedroom facing out towards the sea, this would capture the lovely morning sun.

A fantastic feature of the property is a self-contained flat above the double garage. This space offers a large double bedroom plus an adjacent lounge, full kitchen and ensuite bathroom, ideal as a work-from-home situation or to house extended family.

Andrew Dorreen

Precision Real Estate Ltd MREINZ

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008), Member of the REINZ

​Andrew specialises in marketing homes on the Golden Mile between Milford and Takapuna and around the waterfront - both the sea and Lake Pupuke. He sees these areas as some of the finest real estate in the country, with always a strong demand for properties right across the price range.  

In the last six consecutive calendar years, Andrew has sold over $100 million each year, with an average sale price of $6,204,993 – one of the highest residential averages in the country. He holds the highest ever recorded sales in both Milford and Takapuna, as well as Campbells Bay Beach, Campbells Bay Clifftop, and Stanley Point (for a non-waterfront property). Andrew seldom accepts listings outside his speciality area and only does so when he genuinely believes he is the best person for the job. To date, Andrew has sold over $1.6 billion worth of real estate while working with Precision.

Due to the number of clients who request confidentiality, he does a significant amount of business ‘off the market’. There have been many homes he has sold without the neighbours being aware. At the top end, there are large differences in where buyers see the value of property, he says, so he prefers to negotiate each transaction face to face, rather than selling by auction where there are risks when fewer people are in a cash unconditional position.  Whilst he is renowned for dealing with higher-value properties, Andrew has also carved a niche within the seaward side streets in and around Milford and Takapuna, especially with the lock-up and leave market. He sees a strong correlation between larger homes and the downsizer market assisting those vendors with their next purchase.

Andrew lives in Audrey Road with his wife Sarah and two children, Ruby and Jack, and additionally has substantial commercial and residential holdings in the area, so he lives, breathes and believes in the core areas in which he sells. 

If you are thinking of selling your home please contact Andrew for a confidential discussion.
