Picture morning light across the water as your first view of the day, and your last. Since the 1880s, 52 Hinemoa Street has stood on Birkenhead Point, and now it is ready for the next chapter.Life here begins at the gate. Step through and the pace softens, the city falls quiet, and the grand colonial villa greets you with the calm assurance of a home that has welcomed generations before you.This is a house made for gathering. The living room is of true ballroom scale, a room that holds long dinners, milestone celebrations and slow Sunday afternoons with equal grace. Around it, the spaces open with an easy generosity, so family and friends drift together naturally.When the day winds down, the master suite offers its own ritual. It is preceded by a private lounge with fireplace, a place to read, to talk, and to let the evening settle before rest. Four bedrooms and water views across the Waitemata Harbour complete the home.Outdoors, summer takes care of itself. The new pool invites early swims and lazy afternoons, while the pool house, with guest quarters comprising an additional bedroom and bathroom, gives visiting family and friends a retreat of their own. All of it sits within 1,510 sq m of freehold land on Birkenhead Point, wrapped around the home like a well kept secret.For those who see further, full plans are available that honour everything this home already is, while revealing all it could still become.Some homes are part of the story of a place. This one is ready to become part of yours.Who lives in a house like this. You do.View the digital booklet here: https://tr.ee/52HinemoaStreet_DigitalBookletContact Jackie or Kristina from PARKER | MARMONT New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty for more information.This property may be suitable for purchasers considering New Zealand's Active Investor Plus visa programme.
