Like a retro car that’s only ever had two loving owners, this ‘50s three bedroom bungalow with ‘70s A-frame kitchen-dining has charm to spare, and loads of handy secrets to reveal!
This well-hidden, private charmer on one of Helensville’s best streets features a lounge well away from the main living area, making it a perfect place to listen to music or watch movies away from family activities. With sound-absorbing materials this room was originally a “hi-fi” den and still features the original built-in cabinet with 1960s turntable and amplifier.

Three double bedrooms include a light and airy master room with toilet and basin, and built-in shelving in the other two rooms.
The large kitchen/dining room is bathed in light, open plan with high-racked ceilings, an abundance of cupboard space and lovely views from its elevated position. Still in its original 1970s glory, the kitchen has a large formica bar perfect for pre-meal drinks or substituting for a table. This room also has a woodburner, but with the warmth of the sun this room is the most popular family meeting place.

The present owners have invested in solar heating for their hot water and it pays off with a huge drop in power bills. The home also has external stairs for easy roof access (and a great place to watch the sunsets) and a wrap-around platform to enable easier cleaning of the exterior.
Also includes a good-size laundry/cloakroom with internal access to firewood under the house, and an adjoining garage.
The property is 455msq, very private with mature plantings. A great starter package for the first home buyer or an exciting renovation project.
