Treasured Character - Stonemason's House
Truly unique and steeped in history; one bedroom, one bathroom and a secure garage carpark can be found in this original Stonemason's cottage at the beating heart of Parnell.
Constructed in 1863 by renowned stonemason Benjamin Strange, the property was faithfully restored in the 1970s to its original charm. Converted to apartments in the new millennium it now features just six very special character homes which are owned with pride.
Occupying a unique loft position with high-stud ceilings and exposed beams, day-long sunshine floods in through large skylights which provide an airy flow and perfectly frame the gorgeous Pohutukawa tree by day, and the rising moon by night.
Immaculately maintained by an owner who understands its magic. Features include round-headed sash windows and exposed brickwork that showcase lava stone transported from Rangitoto Island in the 1860s. Solid stone exterior walls, attractive fretwork and finials at gable ends and quoined corners add strength and protection to its unsurpassed character appeal.
Bordering the lush green of the Auckland Domain, you're surrounded by space and solitude, complemented with Parnell, New Market and city shopping hubs at your doorstep. Nearby entertainment, recreation, and public transport including Parnell train station, add to the ease and vibe of this location. Stonemason's cottage offers its residents a very special lifestyle of character, convenience and quality.
Stepping in at your own front door this quaint home provides you an incomparable apartment alternative. Evoking the elegance of a bygone era, they certainly don't make them like this anymore. Owner occupiers with an eye for architecture as well as savvy investors who understand the property's considerable historic significance will appreciate one of Auckland's oldest and most treasured heritage properties.
