This is something incredibly special: A swoon-worthy 1960s brick classic featuring mid-century modernist architectural elements on a freehold 1088m² section with your own private water access and spectacular views.

Perched on the hilltop with a panoramic vista out across the Whau River, lovers of the era will fall head over heels for this home, which include original drop dead gorgeous 1960s tear drop pendant lights, distinctive timber panelling and oversized windows that welcome in all-day light and sun.

The original kitchen with its bevelled glass slider cabinets above the serving hatch and patterned lino presents plenty of charm and possibility, but this space is all about the views, which stretch out across the water. Maximise the time you spend enjoying the stunning sunsets and ever changing vista and use your design flare to open up this part of the home.

Wake to the morning sun in one of three generously sized bedrooms, all set away from the living areas for peace and privacy. The bathroom is refreshingly spacious and offers both bath and shower and a heat pump is available for cooler months in the lounge which is begging to be opened up to the kitchen and dining spaces.

Outdoors the massive section spills down to the river's edge meaning you can spend your weekends kayaking or paddle-boarding to the Te Atatu Boating Club for lunch, or simply enjoy your own private inlet, a truly rare find in Auckland and can never be built out.

What's more, the surrounding coastal area is zoned 'single house' under the unitary plan so the good news is you're less likely to be competing with developers when buying your 1000+ m² slice of waters edge, mid-century magic.
