Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 4 March 2026 at 1:30PM (unless sold prior)
Tucked away at the end of a long drive, this delightful semi-detached, two-bedroom brick cottage is an excellent entry into a top suburb. One of only three homes on a huge 1,163m² (more or less) freehold cross-lease title, it delivers the feel of a standalone home with the convenience of low-maintenance living.
Modern, light-filled and move-in ready, this home is a rare find. It's a charming black and white cottage-style home featuring classic wooden casement windows which are enhanced by white shutters contrasting against the black brick finish. Inside, the stylish, open-plan kitchen and living area features a classic bay window and full-length lux velvet curtains, while outside, the timeless brick construction provides both reassurance and character. Both bedrooms are doubles with built-in wardrobes, offering excellent storage. A separate laundry and room for a garden shed adds everyday practicality, while approximately 74m² (more or less) of well-considered living is complemented by garaged parking to complete the package.
Outside, a secluded patio and established gardens create a peaceful setting to relax, entertain, or watch children play. There is also potential for those wishing to add value and take advantage of the full morning sun by developing the back into another outside space to relax in the peace and quiet.
Conveniently located with fantastic access across the city thanks to the upcoming City Rail Link, the location is top-notch. An easy stroll to the train station offers excellent convenience, and desirable schools are in zone close by, including Mount Albert School, Gladstone School, Kowhai Intermediate and MAGS.
Whether you’re looking for your next home, seeking a lock-and-leave cottage with garden space, or considering a solid rental investment in a tightly held suburb, this cosy home offers comfort, character and space in equal measure. I can’t wait to show you around!
