Wake to Hobson Bay from the master bedroom, then follow the sun round to the deck as the afternoon settles in. This modern Parnell home pairs space and views with the Double Grammar Zone, all within walking distance of Parnell Village and Newmarket.
Behind the travertine and cedar facade, the front door opens onto the middle level. Past the powder room at the foot of the stairs, the hall leads through to the open plan living and kitchen. On one side, floor to ceiling glass slides back to a west facing deck under an automatic Louvretec roof, with a manicured garden soaking up the afternoon light. On the other, elevated views reach north east across Parnell and Hobson Bay.
Upstairs, floor to ceiling picture frame windows line the hallway and highlight the views. Three bedrooms share this level, each with its own heat pump, led by a master with an ensuite and a view straight over the water. A full family bathroom serves the other bedrooms. The lower level holds the fourth bedroom, a separate laundry and a double garage with internal access.
Brighton Road is one of Parnell’s most tightly held streets, close to Parnell Village and Newmarket. Stroll up to Parnell Road for galleries and boutiques, then dinner at Gerome, Tala or Non Solo Pizza. Weekends start with coffee at Rosie on Gladstone Road and a loop through the Parnell Rose Gardens down to Judges Bay, where the saltwater Parnell Baths open over summer. The Auckland Domain and Museum are close by for morning runs and picnics. Head the other way and Newmarket’s Broadway gives you shopping, cinemas and the City Rail Link.
For families, the schooling here is hard to beat. Parnell School is around 450m from the door for Years 1 to 8. At secondary level, you’re in zone for both Auckland Grammar School and Epsom Girls Grammar School, each around 2km away, with Baradene College close by for girls from Year 7. Renting here gives your children access to some of Auckland’s most sought-after schools without buying into the zone.
