Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 19 November 2025 at 1:30PM (unless sold prior)

Forget the online estimates — this is real value you can see, touch, and transform and is being sold “as is” due to the lack of final CCC inspection.

Our vendors are ready to meet the market, so if you’ve got vision, tools, or a builder’s phone number on speed dial — act fast. This property will be sold by auction on 19 November (unless sold earlier), and chances like this don’t wait.
Tucked away in a quiet pocket of Hillsborough, this generously sized 1990s four-bedroom, two-bathroom home sits proudly on a 731m² freehold section — a rare combination of space, sun, and untapped potential.

Step out onto the north-facing upper deck, soak in the native bush outlook, and catch those keyhole views of the Manukau Harbour as the evening light fades. This is where imagination meets location.

Constructed of stucco over ply sheeting on a pole foundation, the home has shown signs of past weather-tightness issues — so bring your builder, do your due diligence, and then roll up your sleeves. The bones are solid, the proportions are generous, and the layout offers flexibility for renovation, reconfiguration, or a complete redesign.

Inside, you’ll find multiple living zones, a functional floor plan, and a double internal-access garage — a solid starting point for families, flippers, or developers looking to add sweat equity and reap the rewards.

Set in a well-connected suburb close to quality schools, motorway links, parks, and local shops, 24A Hoskins Avenue is a rare freehold opportunity in one of Auckland’s most accessible locations — and likely to sell close to land value.

So, if you’re ready to think smart, act fast, and unlock serious upside — this could be your smartest move of the year.
