Carnachan Architectural Family Home

Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 14 May 2025 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)

Just 15 minutes’ walk to the beach, this 1990s Simon Carnachan-designed home is one of those rare finds that doesn’t shout for attention – it simply rewards those who find it.

From the moment you step inside the foyer, you’re left in no doubt that this North-facing, sunlit home offers a clever blend of privacy, architectural interest and easy indoor-outdoor living.

Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms—including the main with its own ensuite—plus a flexi-room that works equally well as a fourth bedroom, playroom, or second lounge. Downstairs, both the formal and casual living areas have their own built-in fireplaces and open out to the sun-soaked courtyard—perfect for quiet mornings or entertaining into the evening.

A hidden staircase leads above the garage to a generous bonus space—ideal as a work-from-home set-up, teenagers’ retreat, or guest room.

You’re also tucked away from the road down a private, shared driveway, with automated gates that open to reveal a sunlit courtyard, off-street parking, and internal-access double garage.

You’re just a short walk to Kohi Beach, Madills Farm, and local parks, with the buzz of St Heliers village just down the road. Zoned for some of the area’s most sought-after schools—including Kohimarama Primary and Glendowie College.

The current owners have called this home for more than 15 years, but they’re ready to downsize, so here’s your chance to secure not just a wonderful home, but a fabulous Bayside lifestyle.
