Tommy's place

House Sold - Surfdale Auckland

Tommy bought his Waiheke Home 36 years ago and has enjoyed loving this home with it’s sensational sea views since, even now as he approaches his 93rd year. In that time he’s sat in his armchair by the window and watched many sunsets. He’s seen the houses around change as they’ve been augmented to suit the personalities of new owners as years have passed. Roads have been sealed, cars are now electric and Surfdale is now a thriving village hub with restaurants, cafes, pubs and bakery far from the small shop he enjoyed on arrival.

What hasn’t changed at 16 Marama is the abundant sunshine. The character in the original fireplace and wooden joinery. The uninterrupted sea views, privacy and easy access. Tommy’s garden still thrives. His section still very gently sloping and easy for him to manoeuver a mower around on a hot summers day. It’s still safe to wander down the steps beside his plum tree to Surfdale road to the beach. It’s still a few minutes stroll for the kids to get to the bowling club for a hearty meal or to hang out with friends. Oneroa isn’t any further away nor the city in fact, with buses and ferries now running like clockwork the journey to the CBD is around an hour which is a huge improvement on the 2-3 Tommy began with.

After 36 years Tommy’s ready for a new adventure. He invites you to picture the potential here and turn his beloved home into your own. With luxury relocatable homes more popular than ever, you could replace this charming cottage with contemporary living or, restore this weatherboard cottage back into what once was grand. After 36 years in the same hands this legacy is to be placed into new hands.
