This property is just a short walk to the cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques of Grey Lynn and Ponsonby. It is a 10-minute drive or bus ride into the CBD.

It would suit 2-3 families sharing or an extended family for a great fun time together. Built in the 1890s by the Warnock family this stunning home has been brought up to the 21st century while still retaining its old charm.

There is a large modern kitchen, a large-sized dining area with gas fireplace & a spacious living area with open fire. There is a separate toilet and a laundry/bathroom on the ground floor which also has under-floor heating. This downstairs space flows out to an open entertaining area with an outdoor kitchen including bar fridge, pizza oven, BBQ and dishwasher. A main feature of the outdoor living area is the large, heated swimming pool.

The property is surrounded by a lush, sub-tropical garden, making it an oasis of calm in the heart of the city.


There are 5 bedrooms upstairs as well as the main bathroom.

A separate studio above the free-standing double garage houses a pool table and has its own bathroom and sleeps 4 people.

(The owner's have successfully hosted seated, garden party functions for around 40 people using a marquee - see photos. Contact the owner about holding a special event here.)

A note from our first visitor:

"Hi Susan and Steve, thought I'd drop you a quick note to say thank you for accommodating us so graciously at your house....Anyway, really just to say a big thank you. It's freezing here (London) and missing the house already.
All the best
Greg"
