34 Curran Street, Herne Bay

This home embodies the life of Brian. Positioned within one of Auckland’s most tightly held waterfront pockets, this primarily masonry townhouse is one of just three, offering enduring solidity and a true sense of seclusion. Reimagined with care and intention, the home has been extensively renovated to enhance both form and flow. A private and quiet home, on the edge of the city, it lives up to that sentiment with a calm, almost Mediterranean atmosphere centred around a beautifully designed internal courtyard. Facing north, the home is filled with natural light throughout the day. At its heart, the kitchen, living and dining areas unfold seamlessly to a covered courtyard with a glass roof, outdoor fireplace and water feature, creating a year-round sanctuary for living and entertaining. Every detail has been considered, including inbuilt Sonos sound and a thoughtful balance of openness and shelter. The Matisse kitchen features premium stone and a suite of Miele and Liebherr appliances, with Italian tiles from Artedomus reinforcing a sense of understated luxury. Accommodation spans three well-proportioned bedrooms. The top-floor primary suite offers privacy, an ensuite and a dedicated office nook with elevated water views. Two additional bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes sit on the lower level, supported by a generous, spa-like bathroom. A substantial storage room and double garage provide everyday ease. Architectural oak shelving and bespoke detailing add warmth and character, while three separate entry points offer flexibility. Ponsonby Primary is just two doors away, with Jervois Road village and Westhaven Marina both an easy walk. A deceased estate, loved fully by Brian, this is a home of substance and soul, thoughtfully transformed and quietly exceptional, now ready for its next chapter.
