15 Huia Street

About this property

There are Waiheke homes that are all about the house, and then there are those where location, space and sheer practicality make the compelling case. 15 Huia Street sits firmly in the latter camp. Set in an exceptionally handy Oneroa position, with both Oneroa and Little Oneroa beaches an easy stroll away, this is a substantial, highly functional island home that offers considerably more than first meets the eye. The main living level is light and open, with generous windows drawing in the sun and leafy neighbourhood outlooks. Living, dining and kitchen spaces connect easily, while the warmth of the timber-lined ceilings gives the home an unmistakably relaxed Waiheke character. A wood-burner takes care of winter evenings, and there is plenty of room for family and friends to spread out. Accommodation is arranged intelligently across two levels. One bedroom is located on the ground floor, while two further bedrooms upstairs provide separation and privacy. A dedicated ground-level office is a particularly useful addition for anyone working from home, or simply wanting somewhere to shut the laptop at the end of the day. And then there is everything underneath. A large, dry, lockable basement provides the sort of storage that is notoriously difficult to find on the island. Bikes, boards, fishing gear, tools, kayaks, garden equipment, suitcases and all the accumulated paraphernalia of island life can have somewhere to live other than inside the house. Add a double lock-up garage, concrete driveway and excellent off-street practicality, and this becomes a property that works remarkably well for permanent living, a busy family, an island base or holiday home. From here, mornings can begin with a walk to the beach, Oneroa village is close at hand, and coming home means having the space to park the cars, store the toys, work from home and accommodate everyone without compromise. For buyers who value position and practicality over polish, 15 Huia Street might just make a great deal of sense. 3 bedrooms | Separate office | Double garage | Large dry lock-up basement | Concrete driveway | Walk to Oneroa & Little Oneroa beaches
