AI summary

A rare Onehunga mid-century home is on the market for the first time in 65 years. Designed in 1959 by architect Ross Lee, it was inspired by the work of The Group Architects.

The home features a sun-oriented layout, floor-to-ceiling glass, and post-and-beam construction. Extended over time but remaining largely original, its timeless design has proven highly functional for the family who built it. This unique, tightly-held property is now attracting significant interest from buyers.
