Positioned in one of Birkenhead's most sought-after pockets, this character-filled home offers an easy, relaxed lifestyle just moments from Highbury's shops, cafés, schools, and transport links. Chelsea Heritage Park and the ever-popular Sugar Refinery Café are just down the road, putting everything you need right on your doorstep. Crafted in the 1980s with board and batten construction and architecturally designed by Peter Norton, a pioneer of New Zealand's 'pole-house' style, the home showcases warmth and personality through timber finishes, exposed rafters, and raked ceilings. Spread across multiple levels, it enjoys excellent sun, privacy, and a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. The lower level currently serves as a generous master retreat, complete with a pull-down staircase to a separate powered area, ideal for storage or a tucked-away home office, but it could just as easily be adapted into a second living space. Upstairs, two bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully renovated bathroom, while the open-plan living area leads to a deck, both of which capture elevated views across the Sugar Refinery, Chelsea Park, and the Waitematā Harbour. Set back from the road within its own landscaped gardens, the home offers a peaceful, private sanctuary surrounded by greenery and birdsong, with plenty of space for children to play safely. Recently painted and thoughtfully updated, it's ready for you to move in and enjoy, with the flexibility to adapt as your needs evolve. With the vendors already purchased their next chapter, this Birkenhead gem is ready for its new owners. Sitting in a tightly held location and with no auction, you'll want to act quickly so give us a call today. Link to documents https://www.harcourtsfiles.co.nz/listings/M8XY
