18 Apihai Street, Orakei, Auckland, 1071, New Zealand

18 Apihai is an honest, charming single-level bungalow that has been loved by one family for 35 years. Bathed in natural light from sunrise to sunset, the home is warm, welcoming, and wonderfully peaceful.

Set well back from the road, it offers complete privacy and quiet. The interior is tidy and fully livable as is, with insulation up to code, though there is plenty of potential to update and add value.

The mature garden is a highlight—alive with birdsong and established fruit trees, alongside vegetables and flowering beds. It’s a tranquil retreat in every season.

There is ample storage both under the house and in the attic above the garage.

This is simply a lovely home to live in: warm, comfortable, and full of promise. Our original plan was to add a second story with two bedrooms and an ensuite, but with our lives now based in Wellington for the next seven years, it’s time to pass this special property to someone who will enjoy it as much as we have.
