Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 26 August 2026 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)

It's a love story:
"We only went to watch the auction — and ended up falling in love with the peaceful greenery, beautiful views and retreat-like privacy, all in the Double Grammar Zone at a price we could afford."
Twenty years later, this much-loved character home is ready to welcome its next family.

This 1910s home carries all the charm of its era, without the restrictions of a heritage listing, giving you the freedom to further modernise as you wish. Fully fenced and screened by hedges and flowering trees, it feels like a world of its own.

Step inside, every window becomes a frame — blossoms against the sky, leafy treetops all around, and Remuera unfolding beyond. Original timber floors, high ceilings, a fireplace and Dutch doors sit comfortably alongside thoughtful renovations, while four air-conditioning units ensure year-round comfort — a considered balance of warmth, elegance and ease.

French doors open onto a brick courtyard and timber decks beneath the camellias. A perfect setting to entertain, gather, or simply unwind. There's room for it all — two generous living areas, three bedrooms, a light-filled bathroom, plus a tandem carport and basement storage to spare.

Homes are easy to buy. Finding one you'll still love twenty years later is much rarer. We invite you to come and discover why.
