Own a Slice Of New Zealand History - "Firth Cottage"

9 KITCHENER ROAD, THORNE BAY, TAKAPUNA

Located in the middle of the North Shore's famed golden mile, this iconic waterfront property has to be one of the most unique listings to have come to the market this decade. The original cottage purchased by the family in 1940's is in an original state but has the most gorgeous relationship with the water thanks to its elevated position and prime wide frontage.

The property offers direct access to the water and is comprised of over a quarter acre of land. Access to the home is via a 3.5 meter (approx.) wide access from Kitchener Road a short walk from both Milford and Takapuna villages. The views that the home benefits from are breathtaking and intimate with the ruggedness of the lava rocks and lapping water at the foot of the property -Superb! Thorne Bay, a pristine golden sand North facing beach is literally just a moment's walk from the property and is considered one of the most picturesque Beaches on the North Shore. In the other direction, Milford Beach is just a short walk - you are in the centre of it all.

The dwelling is absolutely ripe for renovation. No restrictions are in place for any internal works, however, purchasers should be aware the property is classed as Heritage A so need to consider and investigate this as a part of their due diligence.

For buyers wanting to secure an eclectic slice of NZ history and a gorgeous renovation project at below the council's valuation and in the very best location imaginable must contact Andrew Dorreen Today.

Andrew Dorreen

Precision Real Estate MREINZ

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008), Member of the REINZ

Andrew specialises in marketing homes on the Golden Mile between Milford and Takapuna and around the waterfront - both the sea and Lake Pupuke. He sees these areas as some of the finest real estate in the country, with always a strong demand for properties right across the price range.

In the last six consecutive calendar years, Andrew has sold over $100 million each year, at an average of $4,530,000 - one of the highest residentially in the Country. He holds the highest ever recorded sales in both Milford and Takapuna as well as Campbells Bay Beach, Campbells Bay Clifftop and Stanley Point (for a non-waterfront property). Andrew seldom accepts listings outside his speciality area and only does so if he genuinely believes he's the best person for the job.

Due to the number of clients who request confidentiality, he does a significant amount of business ‘off the market’. There have been many homes he has sold without the neighbours being aware. At the top end, there are large differences in where buyers see the value of property, he says, so he prefers to negotiate each transaction face to face, rather than selling by auction where there are risks when fewer people are in a cash unconditional position. Whilst he is renowned for dealing with higher-value properties, Andrew has also carved a niche within the seaward side streets in and around Milford and Takapuna, especially with the lock-up and leave market. He sees a strong correlation between larger homes and the downsizer market assisting those vendors with their next purchase.

Andrew lives in Audrey Road with his wife Sarah and two children, Ruby and Jack, and additionally has substantial commercial and residential holdings in the area, so he lives, breathes and believes in the core areas in which he sells.

If you are thinking of selling your home please contact Andrew for a confidential discussion.
