12 Shipton Place Blockhouse Bay, Auckland City

Tucked quietly at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this charming 1930s character home offers privacy, space and lifestyle in a location that continues to grow in popularity. Set on a generous 852sqm freehold site, this is the kind of property that immediately feels like home.

Spread across two levels, the residence is filled with warmth and character. Upstairs you'll find three comfortable bedrooms alongside a light-filled open plan living and dining area, where polished timber floors and classic character details create a welcoming atmosphere. The refurbished kitchen connects seamlessly to the living space, where the elevated position allows glimpses of the sea while relaxing or entertaining. A beautiful bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles completes the upper level.

Downstairs adds valuable flexibility with two single garages, a separate laundry, and a large rumpus room with its own external access. Whether you're looking for a teenage retreat, guest accommodation, a work-from-home office or children's play space, this adaptable area easily caters to modern family living.

Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. The fully fenced section opens out to a surprisingly spacious backyard, where a gate leads through to a secluded, tree-lined garden - a peaceful and private sanctuary. There's space for kids to explore, room for gardeners to create their dream landscape, and plenty of opportunity to add further value over time.

Families will appreciate the excellent school zoning, including Blockhouse Bay Primary School, Blockhouse Bay Intermediate and Lynfield College, while the convenient location places you close to the villages of Blockhouse Bay and Lynfield, along with parks, cafes and transport options.

Zoned Mixed Housing Suburban, the property may also appeal to buyers considering future development potential (subject to council approval).
