Another Property SOLD in Hauraki by Ilse Evans
Prime 1012m2 development opportunity in Hauraki Presenting one of, if not the, most exciting development opportunities in Hauraki, 55 Jutland Road is finally on the market after nearly 80 years. The 1012m2, perfectly flat land is zoned Mixed Housing Suburban and is positioned on a prime corner site.
The property is currently occupied by a 1920s bungalow, which was purchased by the owner's mother in the early 1940s. She raised three young sons on her own here, one of whom enjoyed his entire life in the home and was a widely-known local character. Number 55 is firmly entrenched in Hauraki history and is believed to have been previously owned by the Hart Family, of Hart Road, and the Knights, who owned a farm at the bottom of Francis Street.
Jutland Road is Hauraki's premier street and is a highly sought-after neighbourhood for families. The local café and superette are just across the road, as is popular LakeTown Green, a park designed specifically for young children. Hauraki retail centre's supermarket and eateries are an easy walk from home, with the golden sands of Takapuna beach just a little further down the hill. A pleasant stroll along the shore arrives at Takapuna's shopping, dining and entertainment hub.
School zoning is another major drawcard for families, thanks to Hauraki School, Belmont Intermediate and Takapuna Grammar taking care of children's education from start to finish. They're all within walking distance from home. Commuters have the Esmonde Road onramp just around the corner, or can opt to catch either the Bayswater or Devonport Ferry to the CBD daily.
Although it has some heritage features, the home has been added onto over the years and is in very much original condition, so will need to be removed from the site. Expansive flat grounds and the exclusive corner position, wrapping around onto Sydney Street, means access is favourable for construction and there are no shared driveways.
The potential for this prime land is undeniable and it presents an extraordinary opportunity for development.
