About this property

Before you demolish and start again, consider the opportunity to preserve or even relocate this beautiful piece of Papatoetoe history. Originally owned by the Kimpton family, one of Papatoetoe's founding families, this classic home showcases timeless New Zealand colonial architecture. Its elegant double-gabled frontage, wraparound veranda, soaring stud heights, sarked ceilings and glowing original rimu floors are features that simply cannot be reproduced today. A grand central hallway divides the home, with bedrooms positioned across the front and sun-filled living spaces occupying the entire north-facing side. Formal and informal living areas provide generous spaces for family life and entertaining. With some renovation and repairs, this grand old lady could be beautifully brought into the twenty-first century. The upper floor offers additional bedrooms and living space, making it ideal for large families or those seeking flexibility. Builders, renovators. Visionaries and even Middlemore staff will immediately recognise the value here. Why settle for a new home on a postage-stamp section when you can secure a substantial home on a large landholding with future development potential? Perhaps add a minor dwelling or tiny home to generate income while planning for the future. Whatever your vision, please give serious thought to preserving this piece of history. Located in the heart of Papatoetoe, less than two minutes from the motorway and close to shopping, schools and Middlemore Hospital, convenience is exceptional. High fencing and gates provide privacy and security. The current family have cherished their time here but have already purchased elsewhere, creating another outstanding opportunity for a fortunate new owner. Buy the history. Buy the land. Buy the future. To all agents: Conjunctionals are welcome!
