48 Rutherford Terrace Meadowbank, Auckland City

For families seeking a genuine lifestyle home, this is something truly special.

Privately positioned and north-facing, the property backs directly onto a park, with swings, slides, open green space and room for the dog, all quite literally beyond your back fence. It's a peaceful, secure setting and one that families instantly connect with.

Our vendors have raised their family here, enjoying a lifestyle that's increasingly rare, kids moving freely between homes, shared meals with neighbours, and a real sense of community. It's been an exceptional place to call home, and one they will genuinely miss.

The home itself offers space and flexibility across three well-considered levels. Four bedrooms include two generous master suites, while additional double bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom upstairs. A large rumpus or media room on the lower level provides excellent versatility, ideal for teenagers, guests, a home office or gym. At the heart of the home, open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas flow seamlessly to sun-soaked decks, perfectly oriented to capture the north-facing aspect.

Outdoors is where this home truly shines. A heated pool, spa, cabana and multiple entertaining zones create a relaxed, resort-style environment designed for family living and year-round enjoyment.

Practicality is equally well catered for, with a double garage, extensive storage, separate laundry and a dedicated pool bathroom.

Looking ahead, there is also scope to explore future options, whether accommodating extended family or considering longer-term potential.

But above all else, what truly sets this property apart is the lifestyle, the setting… and the exceptional value it represents. Meadowbank currently offers some of the strongest value in Central Auckland; comparable properties in neighbouring suburbs typically achieve higher price levels.
