Auckland Property

Step into a rare piece of Herne Bay history! Once an original kauri schoolhouse built in the 1900s, this rare real estate gem has been judiciously situated on the higher ridge sitting proud above the highly desirable Sentinel Rd for over four generations. An enchanting cottage waiting to become your home! A true Sentinel of opportunity for your next property endeavour. Set on a 361-square-meter site, this delightful two-bedroom home, with an additional study, offers a comfortable lifestyle and endless potential. From the front door, its charm begins with a paved courtyard, ideal for morning tea or summer evenings, leading to a generous flat front lawn, adorned with low-maintenance landscaping, overlooking mature trees, and set well back from the peaceful Sentinel Rd for added privacy and garden views. Inside, the versatile study/sunroom can easily be transformed into a dressing room, home office, or cosy daybed retreat. The home features two spacious bedrooms, a large lounge, and two bathrooms. A modern kitchen flows out to a rear deck, creating another inviting space for entertaining, surrounded by beautiful garden beds and greenery. At the back of the home there is a fully fenced, private backyard with decking - perfect for children, pets or a zen meditation area. Plenty of room to transform your ideas! Additionally, the property boasts a studio with a laundry area, ready to be reimagined for various uses - an art studio, teenage retreat or gaming hub! With an original garage at the front of the section and with easy access off-street parking, theres also space to add your creative touch. Maybe you want to redesign the garden space or add Louvre Tech to cover the patio area? (you may need check for council consent). Dont feel like driving? No problem because you are simply minutes from Sentinel Beach for a swim, local cafés and restaurants not to mention the Ponsonby Rd shops. Zoned for excellent schools, this special home at 18 Sentinel Road suits both downsizers and growing families alike.
