20 Hastings Street, Hobsonville, Waitakere

Willis Bond living, framed by greenery

Built by Willis Bond and set within Hobsonville Point's sought after Sunderland precinct, this three bedroom end terrace combines architectural warmth with a genuinely calm way of living. Brick and cedar cladding give it a timeless street presence, while its end position delivers the light, privacy, and breathing space buyers look for but rarely find.

Inside, polished concrete floors, high ceilings, and a wide, flowing layout create an immediate sense of ease. Extra windows draw in natural light from multiple angles, while leafy outlooks soften each space, giving the home a relaxed, grounded feel. Subtle upgrades, smart storage, and refined finishes reflect a home that's been thoughtfully cared for.

The north facing backyard opens directly onto one of Sunderland's well connected pocket parks, extending your outdoor living well beyond the fence line. Ideal for children, pets, entertaining or relaxed evenings outdoors, it's a setting that encourages both privacy and connection. The garden itself is a layered urban sanctuary, featured in NZ House & Garden, where lush planting softens the architecture, links the outdoor spaces, and creates a rare sense of calm, with greenery framed from almost every window. Anchored by a single apple tree, it's a garden designed to be lived in, not just admired.

Upstairs, the master suite opens to its own terrace overlooking the pocket park network, a quiet retreat for morning coffee or a wind-down at day's end, offering a level of separation that's rarely found in terrace home living.

What truly sets this home apart is how it feels day to day. Sheltered, quiet, and intelligently positioned, it retains its calm even on blustery days. The wider Sunderland neighbourhood was masterplanned with walkways, laneways, and shared green spaces to encourage walking, cycling, and everyday neighbourly interaction, creating a more permeable, people-focused environment.

Designed by Studio Pacific, Sunderland A achieved a 6 Homestar rating, with homes oriented for natural sunlight, strong thermal performance, passive ventilation, and high insulation, making them healthier, more energy efficient, and comfortable year round.

All of Hobsonville Point's key amenities are within walking distance, the Sunderland Tool Shed, ferry terminal, cafés, pocket parks, bus routes, and both Hobsonville Point primary and secondary schools, yet the home itself remains tucked away and peaceful.

This is an easy, refined home for those who value light, thoughtful design, and everyday livability. Whether you're starting out, downsizing, or seeking a calm base for family life, it's a home that feels right from the moment you arrive. With the owner now relocating, this much-loved home is ready for its next chapter.
