Location, looks & lovability by the water
A home of substance, 65 Kiwi Esplanade is a special waterfront residence with sweeping panoramic harbour views.
Located in one of Auckland's best kept secrets, this expansive 1950's brick and tile family home is rich in mid-century charm and brimming with future potential. Cherished by the same family for nearly 50 years, its release to the market marks a genuinely rare opportunity.
Living here means more than just owning waterfront real estate. It offers a lifestyle where the reserve is your front yard and your coastal walk leads to Ambury Farm, local cafes, shops and Mangere Mountain. Every day begins and ends with the sea.
From the street, this well-maintained brick home is full of character. Inside, the charm continues with solid timber floors, an immaculate kitchen, three generous sized bedrooms, a modern bathroom and separate laundry. The light filled living spaces feature a woodburner and large picture windows showcase the wonderful view. A lovely balcony flows off the sitting room.
Beyond its nostalgic appeal, lies a layout of surprising versatility. Tucked behind the home is a freestanding sleepout set in tranquil surrounds. This generous space is ideal for guests, multi-generational living, teenagers, or a peaceful work-from-home retreat. It offers separate access, a large living room with kitchenette, bedroom, ensuite and a sun-soaked private deck for entertaining.
Practicality is also covered. A vehicle easement over the adjoining property allows convenient rear access, with parking options out the front and to the rear.
Underpinned by a generous 1,214sqm site with a gentle north-facing contour, the home enjoys a slightly elevated position and is Zoned Mixed Housing Suburban for potential future development. The backyard feels like the Kiwi dream, with plenty of room for the children and pets to play, a vege garden, fruit trees and a large garden shed.
With excellent access to both the city and the south, this is a unique opportunity to secure space, views and lifestyle in a truly special setting. Families are in zone for Waterlea Primary. A home to love today, and a location you'll cherish for years to come. After many happy years, it is now time to pass this home onto the next deserving owner.
