28 Halston Road, Mt Eden, Auckland

Big backyard energy

Set up off the street, this charming bay villa welcomes you with its heritage verandah and traditional central hallway. Inside, the high stud and thoughtful layout make it an easy home to live in and love.

At the heart of the home, open yet distinct living and dining areas seamlessly wrap around the island-bench kitchen - the perfect hub for busy family life and entertaining friends.

Thanks to its prized north-facing aspect, these spaces are filled with natural light. Picture windows and two sets of bi-fold doors invite the outdoors in, flowing to a covered deck and adjoining patio. From here, the large, north-facing backyard stretches out, sun-drenched and private, with plenty of space for children to play.

The main bedroom is a peaceful retreat with its own ensuite and walk-in-robe, while two further double bedrooms feature built-in storage. The claw-foot bath adds a touch of vintage elegance to the generous family bathroom and a separate laundry ticks the practical boxes.

There is a carport and off-street parking for added convenience, and you are in a street locals love - zoned for Maungawhau Primary, Balmoral Intermediate, and Mt Albert Grammar, with the vibrant Dominion Rd eateries, local parks and public transport just a stroll away.

This is everyday living, done exactly right.
