15 John Street is a complete reimagining of a classic square-front villa, where architecture, interiors and landscape come together with rare cohesion.
This is not a renovation, but a full extension and rebuild by Daniel Marshall, with interiors by Sienna Cook and landscaping by Xanthe White. The result is a home that feels considered, balanced and quietly refined.
Just moments from Jervois Road village and an easy walk into Ponsonby, the location speaks for itself.
Light is a defining feature. Roof glazing draws sun deep into the home, while the main living spaces orient west, opening seamlessly to a private garden that captures the afternoon and evening sun. It’s a natural, easy connection between inside and out, and one that changes beautifully through the day.
The kitchen anchors the living space, finished in Calacatta Henri stone and supported by a full scullery and integrated laundry — practical, but also beautifully resolved.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are well laid out, including a main suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. A separate media room adds flexibility depending on how you want to live.
The rear garden is private and sun-filled, centred around a heated pool, outdoor fire and built-in BBQ — a space that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for entertaining.
Storage is well integrated throughout, including additional space beneath the home, with tandem off-street parking completing the picture.
A design-led home in one of Ponsonby’s most established streets — easy to live in, and hard to leave.
