13 Moa Avenue, Oneroa 1081, Waiheke Island, Auckland

An opportunity has arisen to own a slice of Waiheke’s history, with this corner-section property offering an Art Deco home and Blackpool’s original corner store.

If only these walls could talk, they would have amazing stories to tell. The 1940s character home, in stucco plaster is bathed in sunlight and has large living spaces, four bedrooms, original kitchen, plus French doors opening outside. A pathway through the mature garden leads to the mixed-use residential corner building with sought-after street frontage. The building, now in need of some TLC, has served a myriad of uses. More recently, it was the Marae Op shop but other incarnations have included a corner grocer store, a second hand shop, a hairdresser, and housing the printing press for the island’s paper. The location offers the new owner all the amenities Oneroa has to offer shops, cafes, vineyards, beaches, Matiatia ferry service and public transport. A sought after corner site that provides a unique and lucrative footprint with the potential to develop further or the option of creating something completely new.
