14 Parkfield Terrace, Grafton, Auckland City, Auckland

Character that’s distinctively different and a little bit quirky, defines this generous home, originally built in the 1900s along a quiet heritage tree lined street in one of Auckland’s oldest central city suburbs - just a short stroll from the leafy Domain and hospital.

Recent modifications give it personality plus! Keep as is or consider the interiors an inspiring canvas for your creativity and starting point for a makeover. 

You will fall in love with the enchanting, lush, untamed secret garden at the rear with its restful fishpond and practical garden shed. With large French doors from the moody separate dining space, this offers a peaceful, private respite from the clamour of urban living. 

The generous 150m2 (approx) floorplan over 2 levels provides a large light-filled living room for entertaining, kauri floors, gas fire and an automatic Rinnai gas heater for cosy winters.

A bonus for keen chefs, the chic industrial-style stainless steel kitchen has deep sinks, a sturdy double oven, extra-wide F & P dish drawer and a walk-in pantry. 

All 3 large bedrooms, including the voluminous loft-style bedroom, have their own ensuites – 2 with high-end bathroomware. With abundant well-separated spaces, there is potential to earn an income from boarders or Airbnb. 

Well insulated, partially double glazed and topped with a near new Colorsteel roof, the property is an inviting opportunity to live or invest in a sought-after, rarely available address bordering Newmarket, Parnell and Mt Eden. 

Brilliant for medical professionals, it will also appeal to families and business people as it is very close to Grafton train station, (soon with direct travel to K Rd, Aotea and downtown) St Peters College, in DGZ, with bus routes across the city, great access to motorways along with residents and visitors permit parking right in front.

Urban living in a real house and peaceful garden and history. If you want to walk, bike or train to work, this is your next home!

Step outside the square in a superbly located home that dares to be different.
