The luxury of space
Sitting proudly in this iconic Hokowhitu location is the Willfox residence. We are delighted to present the opportunity to own a home of truly magnificent proportions - an architectural masterpiece where no expense was spared in its creation. Commissioned as the personal residence and swansong of a respected local builder, the property stands as a reflection of a lifetime's work. Acclaimed as one of the city's finest homes, it is a title the new owner can uphold for many years to come thanks to its timeless and elegant appeal. A front door designed specifically for the home opens into an impressive entrance foyer, complete with a magnificent hanging chandelier. These features immediately hint at the level of craftsmanship and specification throughout, where every room is a feature in itself. Offering flexible living options for large, extended, or multigenerational families, the home also provides potential for guest accommodation. The ground floor features both formal and informal living spaces, divided by a schist feature gas fireplace. Whether you're hosting a dinner, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying a morning cuppa, the options are all here. A dedicated kitchen anchors the home and is sure to delight any chef. Also on the ground floor are a master suite, bedroom/bedsit, home office, laundry room, and a triple internal-access garage. A staircase or lift leads to the upstairs gallery with bar facilities. A rumpus or media room opens to a balcony, and a further two bedrooms - plus an attic or optional fifth bedroom - are located on the upper level. Core amenities include four bathrooms (three of which are en-suites), ducted and wall-mounted heat pumps, central underfloor heating, double glazing, extensive use of rimu and schist stone, and generous storage areas that complement the home's grand proportions. Electric wrought-iron gates open to secure, low-maintenance grounds and gardens. A private viewing is invited to experience firsthand the lifestyle this award-winning home offers its next owners.

Built in 1969 and rich with the unmistakable character of this much-loved era of New Zealand housing, this Hokowhitu home presents an exceptional opportunity for families, renovators, or those seeking space in a blue-chip location. Well maintained yet largely in original condition, the home offers a wonderful blank canvas - move straight in and update gradually while enjoying the solid construction and generous proportions that define homes of this period. The layout is both practical and versatile. A separate kitchen features a large walk-in pantry, while the adjoining dining room opens via a ranch slider to a private courtyard and the rear section - perfect for relaxed indoor-outdoor living. A separate lounge, also with ranch slider access to a patio and the garden, provides a comfortable retreat. A central hallway leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate laundry. The master bedroom is particularly generous, offering excellent scope for future enhancement. At the rear of the home, a large rumpus room adds significant flexibility. Currently housing a pool table, this space includes a heat pump and its own bathroom with shower, toilet, and vanity - ideal for teenagers, guests, hobbies, or working from home. Comfort is assured year-round with underfloor heating in key areas. Practicalities are well covered with a single garage, carport, ample off-street parking, and a workshop/utility room located behind the garage. Set on an established 715m2 section (more or less) in a quiet Hokowhitu cul-de-sac, the property sits within all the sought-after school zones. With approximately 260m2 of floor area, this is a home that delivers space, location, and enormous potential in equal measure.
