8 Beacholm Road, Takapuna

This home deserves a closer look and it starts with a quiet street, golden sand a short stroll away and the walkable lifestyle to everything you enjoy about Takapuna. Head to the village shops, cafés and dining plus the beach is approx.300m stroll away. A morning swim, coffee with friends or an evening walk beside the water can become part of your everyday routine. Built for its current owner approximately 25 years ago and lived in by them ever since, this freestanding home has been loved and cared for. Warm and comfortable, it has an inviting feel that is best appreciated in person. Freestanding on 523 sqm more or less, and 230 sqm approx. living with 3-4 bedrooms, this is a short walk with no busy roads to cross to the nearest beach walkway. Light-filled kitchen and dining spaces open to a sheltered, planted courtyard, with room to sit outdoors or gather around the table. A separate living room provides another place to relax, while upstairs sea views and a covered sitting area add to the coastal appeal. Double garaging, workshop and storage bring practical features. There is an important consideration for buyers. A Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) was not obtained when the home was built. It is offered without one, and buyers should proceed on the basis that neither a CCC nor a Certificate of Acceptance is available for the home. The owner reports no known issues with the plaster-clad home and it is very comfortable and lovely to live in as is. Nevertheless, a purchaser should plan for recladding to bring the home to today’s building code. The scope of work and pathway to certification will need to be established with professional advice and council approvals. For someone prepared to take that step, this is an opportunity to bring their own ideas to a much-loved home in a premium location. The price expectation reflects the compliance position and anticipated work, while recognising the enduring appeal of this setting. Come and view first hand. Spend time in the home, see the courtyard garden, and walk down to the beach before deciding what the future could look like here. The owners will consider all reasonable offers from below the Rateable value $2.575m....
