5 Blake Street, Surfdale

This 1970s home reflects an era when coastal living in New Zealand was defined by space, practicality and a connection to the outdoors. Just 50 metres from Surfdale Beach, its level site and central location-seven minutes to both Matiatia Ferry and Ostend Village- place it firmly at the heart of Waiheke.

Upstairs, the layout favours balance and natural light. A generous kitchen flows into the dining area and a spacious lounge with a raked ceiling opens to a full-length, north-facing deck. Three well-positioned bedrooms- with built-in robes and main with deck access-capture the era's emphasis on sun-filled, functional living. A family bathroom and separate WC complete the floor. Internal stairs lead to a versatile lower level with secondary living and rumpus room, laundry, bathroom, WC and extensive storage -ideal for guests, extended family or evolving needs. A large double-door garage with workshop, car-working pit and outbuildings reinforce the home's practical roots.

With strong architectural bones and timeless proportions, this is a rare opportunity to restore and reinterpret the character of its time for contemporary island life.
