Nestled next to Brandon Reserve and a short walk from the beautiful Little Manly Beach, this classic coastal home has been completely renovated by its licensed builder owner.

“I didn’t cut any corners when renovating – in fact, I’m moving on because I can’t make this home any better than it already is – so there’s nothing for the new owners to do but move in and start enjoying the relaxed coastal lifestyle that Manly is known for, ” says owner Richard Rigg, owner of Red LBP, a licenced pre-purchase home inspection service.

After 11 years here, Richard leaves with many fond memories.

“It’s been a great house, and perfect for my kids when they were little. Little Manly Beach, the best beach on the coast, is just a few minutes’ walk from here. We’ve loved heading out there for a swim, surf or paddleboard, or to do some fishing. It’s a great neighbourhood. You’re surrounded by good neighbours, and we all know each other.

I like to head over to Manly Bar and Grill which is just a five minute walk from here, or to take my dog Charlie for a walk. With the house adjoining the reserve, there are lots of options for places to stroll, ” Richard says.

Step inside the masterfully reimagined 1960s weatherboard home and you’re struck by the sense of light and space, and warm, inviting ambience with a timeless coastal feel.

“It’s a real bright, sunny house with a generous living area and good indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining. I love spending time out on the sun-drenched deck, ” Richard says.

A spacious kitchen anchors the supersized open-plan living and dining area, which spills effortlessly out onto the covered north-facing deck, allowing for al fresco dining and family barbecues, whatever the weather does.

Four bedrooms, the master with its own ensuite, plus a family bathroom ensure plenty of room for growing families or guests who’ll inevitably want to come and visit in this coastal paradise.

All-day sun and double glazing ensure a comfortable temperature year round.

The private, sunny freehold site of 600 square meters has plenty of room for kids to run and play, while being fully fenced for their safety.

There is ample room for a boat or other water toys thanks to internal-single garage, double carport and extra off-street parking, plus plenty of under- house storage.

A five-minute walk takes you to the Manly Village shops for brunch or a spot of shopping.

The community is popular with families, with Whangaparaoa Primary School and various daycare centres within walking distance.

“You’ll love the coastal lifestyle and relaxed pace of life and you can take comfort in the knowledge that your home is solid as a rock!” says Sarah Bentley from Harcourts Cooper & Co – Whangaparaoa.

“Richard has purchased his next home, so this property must sell on auction day – if not before. Do not miss this opportunity, call me today for a private viewing or come along to an open home, I can’t wait to show you through.”

Minutes away from the beach, with plenty of space and a luxurious pool area, 40 Laurence Street is all about the fantastic lifestyle, without any of the compromise.

Nestled in sought-after Manly, where properties are tightly held, this stunning five-bedroom single- level weatherboard now presents the rare opportunity to make your own wonderful memories here.

The ideal hideaway for families and those who dream of coastal living, it’s an address you’ll be proud to call home.

Because owners Kirsty and Stew lived on the property in a since-demolished bach before building their dream home, they had plenty of time to envision the perfect home for them and their family on site.

Their vision was for laid-back family lifestyle revolving around open-plan living, and a home featuring quality, durable finishes, something that’s been beautifully executed here.

At the heart of the home is a stunning chef’s kitchen anchoring the spacious open-plan living and dining area, featuring American oak wooden flooring, with easy flow out onto the sun-drenched deck, overlooking the sparkling turquoise water of the swimming pool.

Measuring 11 metres by 4.2 meters and presided over by a cabana, the luxe swimming pool will be the envy of your friends, who’ll want to come and visit all the time.

“The house is well set up for families. We have teenagers and with five generous bedrooms and a second living area, there’s room for everyone in the family to enjoy their own space. The swimming pool was absolutely fantastic for our teenagers, with the added bonus of a pool house, which our kids used as a gym. We’ve loved sitting out on the deck looking out over the pool, and having friends and family round for barbecues. And when we’re not sitting on the deck, we’re out in the boat or going for a walk on the beach – it’s a wonderful lifestyle, ” says Stew.

The fully-fenced, low- maintenance section comes with plenty of parking for the campervan, boat or tractor, and ensures children and pets are safe.

“The neighbourhood is relaxed and established, with a mix of baches, that have been in families for generations, and full-time residents. It’s an easy commute for those like me who work in Auckland, ” Stew says.

“Grab your morning coffee from the local coffee caravan as you stroll along the beach before breakfast. Then launch the paddleboard and explore the picturesque beaches, or fire up the tractor and boat for a more thrilling sea adventure.

At the end of another perfect day in Manly, unwind in style at your local bar or choice of restaurants.This coastal lifestyle is hard to beat, offering the perfect playground for boaties, windsurfers, swimmers and beach lovers.

Schools, the plaza, sports clubs and gyms are all close by, with a bus stop at your door.

Contact me to secure your dream coastal lifestyle today, ” says Bronwyn Titchener of Harcourts Whangaparaoa.

On the market for the first time in 27 years, this grand Greenhithe estate offers a relaxed, elegant living environment that’s enhanced with a swimming pool and full-sized, floodlit tennis court. Its gracious design is a replica of a classic, colonial-style Victorian villa, and was crafted from plans originally drawn up in Melbourne. The beauty of the four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence is that while it showcases all the gracious hallmarks of a bygone era, it offers the comfort, convenience and peace of mind of a more modern build.

The 2066m2, perfectly flat property is located in Birchwood Grove, one of Greenhithe’s most sought-after and tightly-held neighbourhoods. The quiet enclave backs onto Wainoni Park and has close water access, with calls from the rowers on Lucas Creek often heard across the still, early morning air. Greenhithe is one of the North Shore’s best kept secrets – a peaceful, picturesque village that’s well-connected to the city, North Shore and schools, thanks to its handy motorway onramp.

The owners have raised their family here and loved the incredibly easy lifestyle the single-level home affords, as well as its unique beauty and charm. Sweeping lawns and original plum trees introduce the gracious residence, which has a veranda running the entire length of the front. Finials and intricate fretwork set the scene for the high-quality, heritage-style craftsmanship that follows throughout.

Romantic interiors feature ceiling roses, elegant cornices and a high stud, with all accoutrements curated to enrich the aesthetic – door handles, drapes and striking wallpaper. These are complemented with contemporary must-haves, including HRV and ducted central heating. 

From the entry foyer, the accommodation wing extends the length of the house. Two bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom with spa bath, while the guest bedroom has its own ensuite, as does the master. The master is a spacious parents’ retreat, also boasting a walk-in wardrobe and French doors opening out poolside.

The country-style kitchen is at the heart of the living and dining zones and has timber cabinetry, thick stone benches and an island. The separate formal living and dining room is on one side, while the more casual lounge and dining is on the other. Both have wood burners and offer great spaces for family life and entertaining. The inside flows out to sunny decks and the veranda, which are made incredibly private thanks to the well-established landscaping that frames them. Alfresco entertaining is a pleasure out here, with the outdoor speakers, a large fireplace, the pool and tennis court – believed to be one of only a few in the central village area. The pool room out here could easily be converted into a resort-style pool and tennis pavilion, and a large and thriving vege and herb garden is tucked away behind the gate.

The internal double garage is oversized and has enough space for a workshop area. The dedicated office out here has its own outdoor access and entranceway, making it ideal for those who work from home.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire one of central Greenhithe’s most admired estates.
