63 Raurenga Avenue, Royal Oak, Auckland

Living on Cornwall Park in the peace and quiet 

After 25 wonderful years our original owner is on the move presenting a rare opportunity to secure a piece of real estate adjoining Cornwall Park. Location often tops the list when families choose a home, and this property's position is genuinely difficult to replicate. Wake up to the cows in the back paddock. Situated at the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, 63 Raurenga Avenue backs directly onto Cornwall Park, with secure private access that makes the park feel like an extension of your own backyard. This isn't about being near the park - it's about living on it. Weekend mornings might mean stepping directly onto the park for a family walk. After-school energy can be burned off with a quick run outside to watch the sheep and cattle grazing or spot pheasants. The 135-hectare park becomes your extended living space, offering everything from casual picnics to proper exercise, all accessible within seconds of your front door. With no through traffic, children can play more safely outside, and the street maintains a quieter, more neighbourly atmosphere. The established trees lining the street create a leafy, settled feel that speaks to the maturity and stability of this community.

This townhouse was designed with practical family living in mind; the layout demonstrates thoughtful planning that has stood the test of time. The four bedrooms provide ample accommodation for a growing family. Whether you need space for multiple children, a guest room for visiting grandparents, or a dedicated home office. The configuration across two levels creates natural zones within the home. Finding a home that truly works for family life means more than just counting bedrooms and bathrooms. It's about discovering a place where your daily routines flow smoothly, where there's room for everyone to spread out. This home delivers on all these fronts.

The dual living areas represent one of the property's most valuable features for families. One space might serve as the main family hub. The second living area could be a quieter retreat, perhaps a playroom for younger children, a teen hangout space, or simply somewhere for parents to retreat. The work-from-home potential here shouldn't be overlooked. The separate entry means you could run a home-based business or create a professional home office space with its own access, keeping work life physically separated from family life - something that's become increasingly valuable in recent years.

The double internal-access garage offers more than just convenient, weather-protected parking. Families accumulate gear - there is plenty of space and storage for bikes, sports equipment, camping supplies, tools and gardening equipment.

The indoor-outdoor flow from the living areas onto the large private patio demonstrates the home's thoughtful design. It is a genuine extension of your living area, and with direct views onto Cornwall Park, it offers privacy without feeling enclosed.

The patio's sunny aspect makes it usable across much of the year - a place for weekend breakfast, for children to play or for summer barbecues, or simply for sitting with a morning coffee while watching the park come to life.

The established nature of the neighbourhood suggests a stable, family-oriented community. These are the neighbourhoods where children grow up playing together, where neighbours look out for each other, and where families put down roots.

The combination of a secure private access to Cornwall Park, family-friendly layout, and established neighbourhood character creates something that's difficult to find elsewhere. Are you ready for the peace and quiet of living on the park?
