Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 29 April 2026 at 1:30PM (unless sold prior)
Positioned proudly on sought-after Astley Avenue, ageing gracefully and looking better than the day it was built, this timeless beauty is on the market for the first time in over two decades. Its prominent double bay design is timeless, exudes street appeal and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you arrive home. As you enter you are greeted by the wide hallway, 3m tall and decorative ceilings, character, and detail throughout. All of which has been retained through the ages to create a truly whimsical aesthetic. Surprisingly spacious, this home packs quite a punch in floor area and flexibility and has been designed for comfort and easy living. Honouring its heritage yet accommodating today’s needs, it’s both old and new in ALL the right places.
Living spaces are impressive and very generous. The formal lounge incorporates one of the two bay windows, complemented by a gas fire for the cooler months. Cleverly recessed into the wall and hidden away, there is a study/hobby nook to keep everyone connected, a great place for the kids to do their homework, or other leisurely needs. The large dining area will seat every family member during any family or social occasion, allowing for a seamless flow to the generously appointed, modern kitchen. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms to choose from, the days of sharing bedrooms and bathrooms are over.
The north-facing front yard is fully fenced and tastefully landscaped with the additional sleepout tucked away in privacy. This will be a great space for those needing a separate space for a teenager, hobby, music, or work-from-home room. Every inch of this property has been cleverly utilised, a testament to the owner’s lengthy tenure, leaving nothing to chance and nothing wasted. To the rear, a charming courtyard awaits, a single lockup garage and a garden shed. Further storage for seasonal overflow or longer-term needs can be utilised in the large ceiling loft, accessed via the drop-down stairs.
For those who appreciate the importance of location, this is one that is hard to beat. New Lynn's plethora of amenities, eateries, cafes, gyms, and public transport links are a very short drive away or walkable for the fitness conscious. Blockhouse Bay and vibrant Titirangi are both equally at arm’s length, and motorway access from here is a breeze.
After two decades of beautiful memories, the hallways are ready to welcome you home with the next chapter ready to be written... The only remaining question in doubt... will it be yours?
