34 St Stephens Avenue, Parnell

Positioned on one of Parnell’s most tightly held and prestigious streets, this landmark residence on Saint Stephens Avenue presents a rare combination of scale, character, and enduring family appeal. Set on a substantial 1,093sq m (approx.) site, the 490sq m home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully reimagined by renowned architect Marshall Cook. The result is a residence that honours its heritage while delivering the space and flexibility required for modern family living. A grand foyer introduces a series of well-proportioned living areas, offering both formal and informal spaces for entertaining and everyday life. The layout is highly versatile, with multiple living zones and generous accommodation, including an en-suite bedroom that can function as a guest suite or private wing. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and informal dining connect seamlessly with surrounding living areas and open to an expansive wraparound deck. Enjoying a prized north-west aspect, this space captures all-day sun alongside elevated views across the city skyline and harbour. The established grounds are a standout feature, with mature gardens, fruit trees, and a charming pergola creating a private and tranquil setting for outdoor living. Upstairs, the master suite forms a peaceful retreat, complete with a private terrace, walk-in wardrobe, and en-suite. Lovingly held and cared for, for 30 years, the home reflects a level of stewardship rarely found. Moments from Parnell Village and within easy reach of the CBD, the location offers both convenience and lifestyle. Zoned for Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls’ Grammar, and close to some of the city’s leading private schools, this is an address of enduring appeal. Generous in scale and rich in character, this is a compelling opportunity as a long-term family residence or a strategic landholding in one of Auckland’s most sought-after neighbourhoods....
