A WELCOMING FAMILY HOME TO GROW INTO AND ENJOY
In a market where space, privacy, and a true sense of home are increasingly hard to find, 10 Elliot Street offers a rare opportunity for families wanting room to grow and a home to truly settle into. Set on 2,086m² (more or less) of professionally landscaped grounds, this is a property designed for everyday living as much as special occasions. After 20 years of cherished family memories, the current owners have completed a thoughtful, high-quality renovation, creating a home that is ready for its next chapter.
SOPHISTICATED LIVING AND ENTERTAINING
Step inside to discover a home filled with natural light, warmth, and an easy sense of comfort. Thoughtfully designed for modern family life, the layout offers multiple living zones so everyone has space to come together or unwind separately. In winter, the formal lounge and wood-burning fire create a cosy place to relax, while in summer the home opens effortlessly to the outdoor entertaining areas for family gatherings and long evenings with friends.
At the heart of the home is the beautifully appointed kitchen, a welcoming central space where family life naturally comes together. Featuring stone benchtops, quality cabinetry, and premium appliances, it balances style with practicality. A fully integrated bar area makes entertaining easy, while the cleverly positioned office nook between the kitchen and dining is ideal for homework, household admin, or keeping busy family routines on track.
YOUR PRIVATE RETREAT
The accommodation wing has been designed with comfort and family living in mind. The master suite offers parents a peaceful retreat, complete with a beautifully finished ensuite and custom walk-in robe. Two further generous bedrooms are well served by a modern family bathroom, creating a layout that works equally well for children, guests, or extended family.
AN OUTDOOR PARADISE
The grounds are a standout feature of this home, offering a wonderful sense of space, privacy, and possibility for family life. Professionally landscaped into a series of usable zones, the 2,086m² property includes extensive decking for entertaining, a sheltered courtyard for quiet mornings, and expansive lawns where children and pets can play freely. It is the kind of setting that invites backyard cricket, family celebrations, and plenty of room to create even more in the years ahead, including a future swimming pool if desired.
THE LOCATION
Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from Riverhead School, the historic Riverhead Tavern, and the village centre, this home offers families the ease of a connected community with the benefit of exceptional privacy and space. It is a rare combination of thoughtful renovation, generous land size, and a sought-after village location.

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $1,075 × 52 weeks = $55,900, against the council valuation of $2,000,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

We read this property as a house. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.
Auckland Council does not publish its contaminated sites records. A site contamination enquiry (a fee applies) or the LIM will say what it holds.
