18 Bradford Street, Parnell, Auckland City, Auckland

Refurbished to exacting standards with timelessly elegant and sophisticated interiors, this extra-spacious character home is superbly located in the heart of Parnell Village.

With generous proportions, high stud and silky herringbone timber floors, light-filled living spaces generate a dream-like grandeur. The entry level sets this home apart from more traditional neighbours. An elevated lounge extension adds extra room that's filled with light, a few steps above the gorgeous new kitchen, dining and family area.

On warm summer days, everything opens up to create an indoor-outdoor setting for sundrenched entertaining with beautifully framed vistas over the harbour and port. Enhanced by central heating and two gas fires, winters are equally enjoyable.

Four bedrooms include one bedroom on this main level. There are three more good-sized bedrooms plus three bathrooms including an ensuite plus dressing room in the large master suite. It's a wonderful spot to fully appreciate those close-up harbour views.

On the lower level, spacious guest quarters have their own entry and a lounge or studio creates huge versatility for teenagers, guests, extended family, a work space or even home and income.

Turn-key ready for a family or professionals to indulge in a low maintenance, carefree city fringe lifestyle. It's just a short stroll for your morning coffee or evening aperitif before dinner. It is Parnell as good as it gets.

In an area where expectations are already high, this DGZ property delivers more than you expect. There's even off-street parking, in addition to double garaging with internal access. Close to boutiques, design galleries, great restaurants, cafes, the train and CBD. For the charmed city fringe lifestyle, step this way.
