41 Fraser Road, Pokeno, Auckland

A true Pokeno original.With just one owner from new, this solid 1960s brick homestead has been loved, lived in and added to over the years. With new carpet throughout, it’s ready for its next chapter.Sitting proudly on approximately 2,248m², the elevated position gives you lovely views across Pokeno, while the generous grounds give the kids room to run, space to spread out and a big old oak tree that’s just waiting to be climbed.This is the kind of home that reminds you of a different era - when houses were built solid, rooms were generous and there was plenty of space for family life.The classic red brick exterior makes an impact from the moment you arrive, and that retro brickwork continues inside as a feature backdrop to the fireplace.The oversized lounge is warm and inviting, with both a fireplace and heat pump, and opens through to an enclosed conservatory - the sort of space you can imagine being used for morning coffees or afternoon games.The kitchen was modernised in the 90s and still works beautifully, with a box window, large pantry, plenty of storage and a near new oven. It adjoins the casual dining area, while oversized windows bring plenty of natural light into the living spaces. An oversized laundry/multi-purpose room adds even more practical space.Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath, with storage surprisingly generous throughout.Downstairs, the home has evolved over time. What was once predominantly garaging has been transformed into additional bedrooms and a rumpus room - perfect for teenagers, guests, hobbies or simply giving everyone a little more room to spread out.There’s a double carport, single garage and new septic tank, plus all the space you could want for family life.But perhaps the best part is that this home isn’t trying to be something it’s not. It’s a solid old girl, full of memories, character and good bones. It has been one family’s home for decades - and now it’s ready to become someone else’s.Get back to what’s important.
