38B West Harbour Drive West Harbour, Waitakere City

Modern, generous and exceptionally well-proportioned, this is the kind of home that delivers far more than its price point suggests and performs way beyond others in the same neighbourhood.

Behind its own private driveway and elevated position, this standalone freehold haven offers an impressive 210sqm of internal living: five bedrooms, three bathrooms and the sort of oversized proportions that are increasingly difficult to find in modern homes.

Designed and constructed by the owners themselves, the floor plan simply works. Its original design was to house practical but comfortable modern living - the home offers a bedroom and bathroom downstairs (perfect for visiting family, guests, teenagers, extended family) with four more bedrooms upstairs. At the heart of the home, open-plan living and dining flows effortlessly outdoors, where a north-west-facing garden and generous deck capture an ample amount of Vitamin D. Elevated from the road and fully fenced, the outdoor space is private, secure and wonderfully easy to enjoy - whether that's children playing, pets roaming or entertaining friends on a summer evening.

And then there's the parking. An internal garage is complemented by up to four additional off-street parks, made possible by the generous grounds and exclusive-use private driveway. For families, this is a genuine luxury often dreamt about but rarely seen.

Built by a reputable local developer, this is a modern home with an exceptionally rare layout, quality construction and enduringly dapper appeal. Walking distance and in zone for West Harbour School, its convenient location cannot be understated either with a 5 min drive to Westgate Shopping Centre and easy access to transport arteries. There's a reason why Westgate is one of Auckland's fastest growing communities. With significant transport and civic infrastructural investment already underway, Westgate's expanding metropolitan centre, amenities and the future Northwest Busway are only some of the reasons why many now choose this neighbourhood as the place to live and thrive.
