Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 24 September 2025 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)
It’s not often you come across a property that ticks so many boxes at once—single level, solidly built, freshly updated, and boasting a garage that really must be seen to be believed.
Built in the 1980s by the current owners’ family, this brick-and-tile home offers easy-care comfort with the bonus of further potential if you wish to add value.
The layout is straightforward and practical: a lounge flowing into the dining area, and on to a smart kitchen with the bonus of a scullery. Ranch sliders open from the lounge to both a sunny private garden and the generous off-street parking area, making indoor-outdoor living a breeze. Two double bedrooms are served by a recently modernised bathroom and toilet, with the added convenience of a second bathroom located off the garage.
And what a garage it is. Generous double internal-access parking, plus ample room for gym equipment, a work-from-home setup or even a TV retreat. A workbench and laundry area complete this highly versatile space.
The location adds further appeal—peacefully tucked away in a cul-de-sac next to Konini Reserve, and Ellerslie tennis club, yet just minutes from motorway links, public transport, Cornwall Park and Ellerslie Village. Ellerslie School is within walking distance, with other well-regarded schooling options close by.
Downsizers and retirees will appreciate the single-level ease, while investors and first-home buyers will be drawn to the solid construction and scope to add value in such a sought-after pocket. One thing’s for certain: the combination of enduring quality and that extraordinary garage will be hard to forget.
