Entry-Level Freehold Living

Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 11 March 2026 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)

Positioned on its own 422 m2 freehold title, this single-level weatherboard ex-state duplex presents a genuine opportunity for buyers who recognise the long-term value of land, location and 1940s construction.

The present owner, a builder, bought the property to refurbish for his own use, but he’s had to return to the UK, leaving a new owner the opportunity to add some serious value.

Step inside and you are welcomed by exposed timber flooring and the reassuring proportions typical of the 1940s. The living room has been updated to include a study nook, creating a practical space for both relaxation and working from home. The smaller of the two bedrooms has been refreshed and the generous main bedroom offers clear potential to enhance further and add value, while the kitchen and bathroom complete the accommodation.

There is a level backyard with room to extend (subject to building consents), landscape or simply improve.

You’re located in the heart of Onehunga, within easy reach of local shops, transport and everyday amenities. Transport options include the local train station, just a 15-minute walk away, and a 10-minute drive to Auckland Airport.

For buyers who value freehold land, and the opportunity to add their own stamp over time, this property represents sound buying in an established, central neighbourhood.
