Discover this charming 1890s character villa at 26 Esplanade Road, tucked away in the heart of Mount Eden, just a stone’s throw from the base of Maungawhau/Mount Eden. From here, you can soak up some of the best views of Auckland. It’s the perfect blend of city convenience and weekend retreat, with easy access to the vibrant city scenes and a peaceful, tree-lined neighbourhood.

Transport’s a breeze with bus stops at both ends of the road, a quick 10-minute drive into town, handy cycle routes, and just a 400-metre stroll to the soon-to-be-opened city rail link – ideal for commuters.

You’re also within walking distance of some fantastic local cafes like Holiday and Small Mercies, and just a short hop to Mount Eden Village, K Road's nightlight, Kingsland's craft beer mile, Ponsonby, and Eden Park.

The private courtyard is a real suntrap, attracting all sorts of birdlife, including tui, waxeyes, and the occasional kereru – perfect for relaxed weekends or entertaining guests.

Inside, you’ll find three generous bedrooms, providing plenty of space for family life, all nestled within the sought-after double grammar zone. Recent updates include a stylish new main bathroom with Plumbline Buddy fittings, while the kitchen has been modernised with a Serie8 Bosch pyrolytic oven and a top-of-the-line Miele induction hob.

Double glazing throughout ensures the home stays warm and quiet, and with two off-street parks – one under a covered carport – convenience is sorted.
