Overview

A Ponsonby Project With Serious Potential

Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at 1:30PM (unless sold prior) If location, scale and potential are on your wish list, this substantial five-bedroom home deserves your attention. Positioned towards the quieter end of Islington Street, this large two-level residence offers something increasingly difficult to find in Ponsonby: space to create something of your own, in a location that needs very little introduction. With five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generous floor plan across two levels, garage and off-street parking for one, the fundamentals are here for a substantial family home or an ambitious renovation project. For the right buyer, this is a chance to take a sizeable Ponsonby home and completely rethink what it could become. The location is exceptionally convenient. Walk to the shops and cafés of nearby Jervois Road and Herne Bay, enjoy the restaurants, bars and boutiques of Ponsonby, and remain within easy reach of the CBD. It's a suburb where location carries enormous weight, and here, you are buying into one of Auckland's most established and desirable central neighbourhoods. Whether you're an experienced renovator, builder, developer or simply someone prepared to take on a project to create your ideal Ponsonby home, this is an opportunity worth investigating. The house needs work. The location doesn't. Come and see what you can create
