Overview

Timeless Character, Hidden in Plain Sight

Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 20 August 2025 at 1:30PM (unless sold prior) A much loved family home, with practical living, soul and grandeur of the original circa 1880s, is a rare treasure hidden in plain sight. The stately villa has been sympathetically renovated over the years and retains many of the gorgeous features of the era, from its high stud pressed tin and kauri board & batten ceilings down to its warm native timber floors and multiple fireplaces. Central heating, quality insulation, and a recently replaced roof deliver contemporary comfort without disturbing the villa’s stunning character. The archetypal layout remains, with a wide gallery-like hallway defining the floor plan. The soft pastel wall tones imbue the interior with radiant colour and light throughout the sunny home. Accommodation is effortlessly practical: three generous bedrooms, a versatile utility room, a full family bathroom, and a separate guest WC. The open plan kitchen and dining area, with an original coal range, shares space with the family living, while the separate sitting room could convert to the fourth bedroom if desired. A graceful wrap around verandah frames the house, while an expansive section features flat lawns and vegetable garden creating a sanctuary that feels far from the bustle outside. The large freehold 885 sqm (approx.) site spans the block, including dual road access, with pedestrian access from 37 St Jude St. Seldom found and highly sought after, the property is zoned for THAB and offers on-site parking for up to 8 cars. Elevated and private, the landmark villa is positioned between Avondale, Blockhouse Bay, and Mt Albert, this city fringe address offers the best of all worlds. You're within walking distance of train connections, close to key bus routes, and just a short drive from both St Lukes and New Lynn shopping malls. This is a gracious home where you can stand out or disappear, depending on how you feel. Come and see what’s behind the gate.
