Embracing the corner of Owens Road and Gillies Avenue, this iconic Epsom site has been reimaged for modern life by renowned developers, AM Homes.
It is now home to 13 stylish terraced townhouses, which showcase a design that pays homage to the neighbourhood’s heritage and unique landscape.
Director of AM Homes Peter Xiao says: “We designed it in the British style, utilising red brick and cedar. Our in-house designer referenced Epsom’s local and historical buildings during the process.”
The development is also framed with volcanic rock walls, as a nod to the area’s natural topography. Construction is complete, titles have been issued, final inspections have been passed and CCC is on the way, so the residences are now ready and waiting to move into. Three have been sold unconditionally, leaving only 10 available.

Ray White licensee agent and sales manager Leo Zhang, who is marketing the development with his team colleagues, says: “We work with a lot of developers in Auckland and see a lot of development sites, and this has the best quality, the best location and great finishes.”
26 Owens Road is a landmark location in this iconic Auckland suburb.
“This site sits right at the central heart of Epsom,” says Zhang. “It’s walking distance from Newmarket and the Westfield shopping centre and there are a lot of Asian and Kiwi supermarkets close by.”
It’s also handy to the villages of Epsom and Mount Eden, well connected to public transport and incredibly close to motorway on-ramps. But it’s families with school aged children whose interest will be well and truly piqued here.
“It’s across the road from Epsom Girls Grammar and walking distance from Auckland Grammar. There are also excellent private schools – Diocesan and St Cuthbert’s – nearby.”

Buyers here are assured the ultimate in easy, luxurious and low maintenance living, as well as peace of mind, thanks to AM Homes’ extensive portfolio of premium projects around Auckland that residents are already enjoying.
This boutique development is divided into two distinct typologies. These have been designed to cater to different lifestyles and provide a safe and secure community environment.
“We’ve received a lot of enquiries from school families attracted to the premium location and the fact that kids can walk themselves to and from school,” says Zhang.
“We’ve also received lots of enquires from people who want to downsize and they’re saying the three-bedroom units are the perfect design. The grandparents can look after their grandchildren after school for a couple of hours.”
Type A’s three-level, flexible and family-friendly floorplans incorporate oversized internal garaging on the ground floor entry level, as well as a bedroom with its own ensuite and courtyard access.

The second floor is dedicated to the open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, which flows out to a balcony with glass balustrade. Two bedrooms on the top floor are serviced by the main bathroom, while the master has its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.
Type B’s duplexes offer a more compact, but equally well-considered layout that suits singles, executive couples or downsizers. The internal garage and powder room are located on entry level, as well as the open-plan kitchen, living and dining zones.
Stacking glass doors on two sides flow out to private north-facing gardens. All three bedrooms and two bathrooms are located upstairs, including the master with ensuite.
Zhang sold this prime 1626sqm parcel to AM Homes in 2020 and says that it is lucky land. It had been in the same family for over 100 years prior and the previous owner was born in the home during the 1930s.
“He lived there until he decided to move to the farm and he loved the original house so much that he chopped it into four pieces and took it with him.”
The build process was also blessed with good fortune and enjoyed a largely unheard of timeline. “Construction was completed four months ahead of schedule.”
