Where Character Meets Considered Design

They say you can't buy good taste. But here, you can buy the benefit of someone else's.
This 1920s bungalow sits on a quiet cul-de-sac opposite Lyall Bay School, close enough to Lyall Bay beach for a morning walk, and close enough to Kilbirnie for everything else. From the street it's classic Lyall Bay character. Inside, it's clear the owners thought about every detail.

Three bedrooms, two beautiful bathrooms, and a level of finish that's genuinely hard to find. The renovation runs full circle interior and exterior, hard landscaping and qwila decking done properly. Garage on the street for the toys, and through the gate, a private, sun-soaked west-facing garden synthetic turf, exposed aggregate, low-maintenance by design and architecturally informed.

Out back is where it really comes alive: a plumbed outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue and bar fridge, built-in garden beds, a hot tub, a fire pit, and alfresco dining under an established Pohutukawa. Outdoor wiring's already run for whoever wants to finish the lighting to their own taste.

Inside: Full Ivar radiator heating, polished native timber floors, gas infinity hot water, a proper laundry cupboard, and a kitchen designed by Prime Interiors with Bosch induction, a Smeg oven, Fisher & Paykel dish drawers, a plumbed fridge, and Dekton benchtops. Underhouse and attic storage round out enviable storage options.

The owners weren't planning on selling they've simply unexpectedly fallen for their next home, and now it's someone else's turn to get into this quality property.

For sale by Deadline Sale, closing 12 noon, October 7 (if not sold prior). Full property info pack will be available following the first open home 2 -2:30pm this Sunday.
