Ahead Of Its Time in Meadowbank
Built by the current owner way back in 1952, 43 Temple Street in Meadowbank once stood tall and alone as one of the first homes in this popular suburb.
The owner originally built a house designed by one of Auckland's leading architects at the top of Temple Street in 1950. Dissatisfied with the result, he designed and built this house at the bottom of Temple Street two years later.
He also managed a timber mill in Rotorua and had all the timber (mainly heart Rimu) for his new house trucked up to Meadowbank.
It was ahead of its time and revolutionary, with a timeless sense of architecture about it even then, and its rock-solid construction has certainly stood firm over the past 69 years.
The four bedroom, 220sqm home sits on an elevated north-west position looking out across Meadowbank to the Sky Tower.
One of the home's most striking features is the entrance way. It has the classic 1950's stone design and grand pillars which make a very dramatic first impression.
Once inside, one of the unique design features is that it's like a light box or light channel. The entire upstairs, including the large living area and master bedroom, have windows on both sides. One set facing into the city and views, and the other into the large garden.
In fact, it has been a home for one family from 1952 until now. But with the owners in a retirement home, it is now time to let their home be enjoyed by another family.
The private area at the back of the house, where it's flat, sunny and grassy lends itself to further decking and potentially a pool.
