The Forever Home Blueprint: Ellerslie’s Best Opportunity?

August 5, 2026

Finding a move-in-ready house that can also grow alongside your family is a rare find. Set on an elevated 872sqm freehold site, this Malabar Drive property offers the best of both worlds: turn-key comfort today, with massive potential to add value tomorrow.

Homes on this tightly held Ellerslie street rarely come to market—and with all-day sun, exceptional privacy, and expansive views, it’s easy to see why.

Move Right In Upstairs

The upper level has been beautifully renovated, so you can start living comfortably from day one.

  • 3 generous bedrooms serviced by a sleek, modern family bathroom.
  • Open-plan heart of the home featuring a designer kitchen and dining area that flows straight out to a sun-soaked, north-facing deck.
  • Separate formal lounge offering a quiet retreat for evening relaxation.

Bring Your Own Vision Downstairs

While upstairs handles today, the flexible ground level is your clean slate for the future. Skip paying for someone else's style and design the space to fit your exact lifestyle:

  • Craft a teenager's retreat, media room, or extra bedrooms
  • Set up a quiet work-from-home office
  • Add a spacious double garage

Outside, the large section leaves plenty of room for a pool, landscaped gardens, or future expansion.

A Premier Ellerslie Location

You're just a short stroll from Ellerslie Village’s vibrant cafés, shops, top schools, and the train station. Commuting is effortless with fast access to the motorway, Lunn Ave, Remuera, and the CBD.
