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.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
