Overview

Dream urban lifestyle villa

Elevated at the prized upper end of Franklin Road is this impeccable traditional villa, the perfect sanctuary for sophisticated professionals and downsizers. Its recent full renovation has resulted in a home of exceptional style, a true urban oasis mere steps from the action along Ponsonby Road. Original native timber floors preserve the villa’s identity before the home opens into the light-filled rear addition beneath a dramatic 3.4-metre stud. Royal European oak herringbone floors add warmth underfoot while sunshine streams in from the large skylight and elongated sliders that open to a private deck and garden framed by lush heading and manicured greenery. Outdoor heating ensures effortless entertaining year round. The kitchen is crisp and considered, featuring quartz benchtops and generous storage, making it as practical as it is beautiful. Settle in beside the Escea gas fireplace or retreat to the separate second lounge for quieter evenings. Two peaceful double bedrooms include the primary with ensuite and excellent built in wardrobing. The home office could also be utilised as a third bedroom if needed. A refined family bathroom is also in place. Double glazing and underfloor ducted heating, cooling and dehumidifying keep the interior comfortable throughout the seasons, while off-street is a rare welcome addition. And then there’s Ponsonby Road. Cafés, restaurants and shopping sit just a short walk away, while back home the mood is a tranquil and refined world away. This perfected residence is the definition of stylish cosmopolitan living, a lock and leave villa for those who appreciate a tasteful and cultivated lifestyle. Open homes Thursdays and Sundays 1.00-1.30pm, or contact Edward to arrange a private viewing. Auction: 2.00pm, Wednesday 28th October 2026 (unless sold prior) Bayleys House - 30 Gaunt Street, Auckland Central
