1. Parnell is ranked in the top 3 suburbs in Auckland zoned for Auckland Premiere schools and access to the best of culture and Entertainment. 2. Parnell is highly orientated towards owner occupiers, you will be in good company in this lovely pocket of 14 homes bounded by Lee, Freemont and Elam Streets. 3. The home was built by a master builder for his family in the early 80's using modern carpentry and building techniques. Built on a concrete pad with beautiful Kauri timber weatherboards and shingle roofing paying homage to the wonderful Villa Cottage design and preserving the streetscape of this lovely area. 4. This home has been owned by the same family ever since and it has been a great Airbnb and a wonderful retreat for out of Auckland visitors in recent years.

Don't think on it for too long though...
