6 Cracroft Street, Parnell, Auckland, 1052, New Zealand
This renovated Arts & Craft brick terrace house is an extremely rare offering, rich in character and superbly located in a tree-lined little street right by Parnell’s boutiques, eateries and galleries. Resplendent with heritage features inside and out, this wonderfully distinctive townhouse alternative melds character features such as kauri floors and original brickwork with thoughtful renovations.
Its owners of 32 years are now moving north, having raised their family in this Double Grammar-zoned location so convenient to the CBD. They’ve made much use of the sunny rear gardened courtyard, substantial and ideal for entertaining, and the single garage off Heather Street.
Intercom-protected gates grant entry to the shared front courtyard with water feature and the dedicated front porch of this centrally-heated home. Considerable living with double-sided ornamental fireplaces adjoins the fully integrated entertainers kitchen with Cararra marble benchtop. A study with exposed brick feature wall leads to a svelte bathroom-laundry. Living flows out to the sizeable walled rear courtyard, cleverly landscaped with espaliered ivy and pleached camelias to create a restful and sun-blessed retreat alongside the single garage.
The home’s mid-level houses the master bedroom with cityscape views and considerable storage bolstering its compact walk-in-wardrobe. A hotel-worthy bathroom and second bedroom complete this level. The attic-level bedroom enjoys a clever sliding storage feature, compact walk-in-wardrobe and access to a good-sized cache of under roof storage, blessed with natural light.
