Mid-Century Cool, Five Minutes to the Train

Need more space? Want a sunny north-facing front yard and a home with real soul?

Forget the fixer-upper. This one’s finished, styled and ready to go.

The owners have poured their hearts into this post-war bungalow. Inside and out, it’s been professionally painted and beautifully maintained. You get 1940s character with none of the hard work.

Walk through the red front door and the vibe hits you straight away. High stud ceilings give every room a light, airy feel. Native timber floors stretch down a wide, bright hallway.

The kitchen is crisp and clean, with white cabinetry, duck egg blue tiled splashback and a skylight flooding the benchtops with light.

The lounge is where you’ll live. It’s sunny and full of personality, with a fireplace for winter nights and a heat pump for everything else. The dining area sits right alongside for long dinners with your crew.

All three bedrooms are carpeted and full of light. The main is the standout, with French doors opening into its own sunny sunroom. Use it as a home office, reading nook or studio. The other two suit young kids, a nursery or a flatmate. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, plus a separate toilet.

The whole property is fully fenced with a driveway gate, so kids and pets stay safe. The north-facing yard soaks up the sun, with a big pōhutukawa standing guard. Parking takes two cars.

And the history? Council records trace this home back to at least 1946. It later spent years as the local doctor’s surgery before becoming a home again in 1989.

You’re a five-minute walk to Fruitvale Road station, with LynnMall, cafés and bars down the road. Jump on the new East-West Line and ride through the City Rail Link to midtown. The Waitākere Ranges sit on your doorstep.

Character homes this well presented rarely hit the market in New Lynn. Add a five-minute walk to the train and you’ve got exactly what first home buyers are hunting for. Someone’s going to grab it. Make sure it’s you.
