Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 11 March 2026 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)

Absolutely immaculate, this spacious, sophisticated and peaceful city retreat laps up the spectacular covenant protected harbour views from one of Parnell’s best streets, where properties rarely become available. Fastidious owners have enjoyed the convenience of living here, by Parnell’s favourite Brighton Road Café, for 20 years and have maintained it in pristine condition inside and out.

Set back and gated from the road, the standalone 256sqm 4-bedroom freehold home is the ideal secure, low maintenance lock up and leave property for a busy family, executives or downsizers.

Enjoy the commanding outlook to Rangitoto Island and Devonport and watch cruise ships enter the Waitemata Harbour from the two living areas and open plan dining upstairs. Doors unfold to seamless entertaining across a sheltered outdoor terrace for barbecues. Double glazing, underfloor heating and a gas fireplace ensure cosy winters. An automated garden irrigation system keeps the lush landscaped 398m2 site looking great all year.

Bedrooms are well-positioned. All but the guest suite open to the garden. The master suite extends to a sunny courtyard and has a walk-in wardrobe plus double vanity ensuite. There are new Bremworth carpets and ample storage throughout. A 5-year warranty remains on the new roof, and three off-street parks complement double internal garaging.

In Double Grammar zone, 50 metres to the bus stop, walking distance to great amenities like University of Auckland, Auckland Domain, Parnell Village, Judges Bay waterfront, Bloodworth Park and Parnell School and a few minutes’ drive to ACG Parnell, Baradene College, St Kentigern Primary, and Kings Prep.

It’s easy to imagine living your best life here. Don’t delay viewing!
