Overview

Too Big or Not Too Big, That Is the Question

Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Friday 5 September 2025 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior) For the current owners, the answer is a resounding YES. From the street, you’d never guess the sheer scale of what’s inside. Step through the door and suddenly you’re in a 200m² wonderland spread over two generous levels, where individuality is baked into every nook and cranny. By the time you’ve wandered through, you may need a cup of tea and a lie-down; there’s a lot to take in, including roof-top views from the upstairs level taking in the vista of the Upper Harbour. So why sell? Simple. The owners have admitted defeat. It’s just too big for them now. If you’re after a slick, ultra-modern, “we knocked down all the walls because walls are so last season” kind of home… move along. This is a proud 1912 transitional villa on a 402m² section, complete with a private English garden, a brick path past an original apple tree, a fountain, and even a fishpond—basically a miniature period drama set in your backyard. Oh, and did we mention? Ponsonby Central is just a short stroll away.. The owners are ready to part ways with their much-loved abode, and they’re committed to selling. This is one of those “you snooze, you lose” moments.
