3 Aylmer Court Eastern Beach, Manukau City

Bold and bespoke, this extraordinary residence was crafted by a builder for his own family in 1981, leaving a legacy of space, substance, and scope just moments from Eastern and Bucklands Beaches.

Set on 670m2 in a quiet cul-de-sac, the five-bedroom layout is far from conventional, with a separate, one-bedroom self-contained wing under the same roof, making it an ideal fit for extended family, guests, or income potential.

Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms claim private bathrooms and balconies, one with a spa bath, the other with a tea making area, while the main kitchen connects to an open-plan lounge and dining area that flows to yet another terrace, all enhanced by a glimpse of the water.

A laundry and separate WC complete the top floor, while downstairs, another two double bedrooms are joined by the self-contained granny flat, featuring its own bedroom, bathroom and laundry, and a well-appointed wet-bar that lays the groundwork for a full kitchen. The living and dining space flows directly to the centrepiece swimming pool and surrounding tiled patio, putting daily life or guest stays at the doorstep of resort-style relaxation.

The decor throughout is pure time capsule, showcasing timber joinery, vintage carpet and authentic 80s style that's immediately liveable and undeniably lovable, yet ripe for revival.

Triple-car internal-access garaging, off-street space for a boat, trailer or campervan, and low-maintenance brick construction tick the practical boxes, while the location seals the deal, being within walking distance of beaches and cafes, with top schooling including Bucklands Beach Primary, Bucklands Beach Intermediate and the highly sought after Macleans College plus transport links all close at hand.

Offered for the first time after 40 years in the same hands, this property invites upsizers, renovators, and developers with the vision to elevate or evolve this extraordinary coastal classic.
