63 Dryden Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland

Parkside paradise - home and income

Backing directly onto Grey Lynn Park and boasting impeccable street appeal, this beautifully renovated villa pairs classic family living with a fully self-contained apartment, offering an exceptional lifestyle and income in one of the suburb's most beloved streets. The vendors have bought so this must be sold!

The main home occupies the upper floor, where its 1910s heritage blends seamlessly with a refined and modern finish. Three generous double bedrooms are supported by two well-appointed bathrooms. A separate lounge at the front offers a quiet retreat, which could also serve as a fourth bedroom, while the open plan living and dining at the rear is designed for everyday living and entertaining. Skylights bring in natural light, and the kitchen is spacious and beautifully appointed. Living extends to elevated decking, private and surrounded by established greenery, with an outlook across the park - the perfect spot for entertaining.

The lower level introduces real flexibility as home and income, or perfect for extended family. This self-contained apartment with its own access includes two double bedrooms (or a bedroom and home office), a modern kitchen and bathroom and open plan living. High ceilings and concrete floors give it a contemporary feel, and it currently returns around $700 per week, a very attractive prospect for those seeking to create additional income.

But wait, there's more! Ponting Fitzgerald Architects have prepared concept drawings for a simple stairwell addition that merges both floors into a large five bedroom home.

At the rear of the property is a generous, level green space the children and pets will love, with plenty of room to add a pool if desired and access directly out to Grey Lynn Park.

With off street parking for two and just minutes on foot from West Lynn Village, you are also close to Ponsonby Road and motorways in either direction. A home with real substance in the perfect location.
