3B/27 Falcon Street, Parnell, Auckland City, Auckland

Truly unique and steeped in history; one bedroom, one bathroom and a secure garage carpark can be found in this original Stonemason's cottage at the beating heart of Parnell.

Constructed in 1863 by renowned stonemason Benjamin Strange, the property was faithfully restored in the 1970s to its original charm, converted to apartments in the new millennium and now features just six very special character homes.

Occupying a unique loft position with high-stud ceilings and exposed beams, day-long sunshine floods in through large skylights which provide an airy flow and perfectly frame the rising moon at night.

Immaculately maintained by an owner who understands its magic; Features include round-headed sash windows and exposed brickwork that showcases lava stone transported from Rangitoto Island in the 1860s.

Solid stone exterior walls, attractive fretwork and finials at gable ends and quoined corners add strength and protection to its unsurpassed character appeal.

Bordering the lush green of the Auckland Domain providing space and solitude with immediate access to public transport, shopping, entertainment, recreation and workplaces. Stonemason's House offers its residents a very special lifestyle of character, convenience and quality.

Evoking the elegance of a bygone era, they certainly don't make them like this anymore. Owner occupiers with an eye for architecture as well as savvy investors who understand the property's considerable historic significance will appreciate one of Auckland's oldest and most treasured heritage properties.
