Over the last eight months, 43 Prospect Terrace in Mount Eden, Auckland City, has undergone a total overhaul.
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom heritage home has been transformed into a stunning home that effortlessly blends historic aesthetics with modern living.
The star of the show is the expertly crafted extension that almost doubles the original floor plan. Here you’ll find the living, kitchen and dining spaces, plus a covered al fresco living area that the new owners can get creative with.
Only one word accurately describes the kitchen: show-stopping.

The space has been thoughtfully planned to integrate with how families like to spend time with each other, while the appliances and fixtures (think: Archant porcelain benchtops, Dezignatek cabinetry, Italian tiling and AEG appliances) are second to none.
Entertaining and relaxing are the name of the game here, with large open-plan living spaces that maximise the space on the site.
Indoor spaces spill through floor-to-ceiling sliding doors onto a wooden deck, patio, manicured lawn and terraced garden where there’s plenty of room for kids to make the spaces their own.
Then, when it’s time for some peace and quiet, the intimate media room in the original half of the house offers a quiet sanctuary away from the lively living spaces.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom Mount Eden villa with a white picket fence has great street appeal.
Only one word accurately describes the kitchen: show-stopping.
The front of the home retains the home’s original heritage feel, with high ceilings, bay windows, stained glass and wainscotting throughout.
The family bathroom and ensuite ooze with timeless luxury, thanks to floor-to-ceiling tiling and double basins that create a sense of class at home.
43 Prospect Terrace is on the market for sale and heading to auction on December 11. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom Mt Eden property last changed hands in March this year for $2.1 million. It has a 2021 CV of $2.7m.
Ray White agent Mike Robson says the quality of this renovation is outstanding.
“The developer has done an immaculate job with this property,” he says.
“The streetscape is appealing because he has retained the character really well, plus the flow through the house from the front to the back is seamless and inviting.

“A lot of buyers like lots of options for living and entertaining and this house has it in spades. Its positioning is also ideal, with plenty of sun all day long.”
Mike says the street is an excellent option for families with young children.
“Prospect Terrace has a tight-knit, community feel because there are lots of young families and children.
“The village with its cafes, restaurants, bars and amenities is just a stroll away, plus the property is in the triple grammar zone and close to a great selection of primary schools, which gives plenty of options for schooling for all ages.
“The developer really has thought of everything with this home. You couldn’t ask for better.”
