This half-share of a large half-villa may be for you!
AVAILABLE NOW!
Nearby:
Bars, restaurants, shops, public transport, all within 5-10 minutes walk. 4 (soon 5) supermarkets within 5min drive. Or take leisurely stroll to parks, beaches, or amongst the most expensive houses in Auckland!
Close to CBD and inner city suburbs.
This half villa has excellent insulation, heating and ventilation, so is cool in Summer and warm in Winter. Double glazing & new front & rear decking is pending.
Your bedroom is off front hall at street level, and overlooks West facing private garden with cherry blossoms in Spring. This is a gracious, former drawing room with a huge bay window (fireplace likely to be removed). This room is ~18m2 which is about 3 x a double room in the CBD! (The high ceilings make it look smaller in the photos).
You also have your own full bathroom with shower over bath. This room is ~12m2 (again 3 x as big as a bathroom in CBD!)
High ceilings add to sense of spaciousness.
Also at street level are the full kitchen, open plan to dining and lounge (with skylight and heat pump). This opens onto a generous East facing balcony which captures morning and evening sun.
Below the kitchen is my bedroom and below the living room is my study/daughter's room (separated by our own downstairs bathroom), so we each have privacy.
Below the stairs is a laundry with front loading washing machine, tub, and dryer.
Below the East facing balcony is a courtyard, and beyond that, a good sized rear garden with a vegetable garden tended by landlady neighbour in exchange for our kitchen scraps. The rear garden is shared with the neighbours and has a washing line.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
