48 Hakanoa Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland City, Auckland

Perched on the prized north-west side of Hakanoa Street—one of Grey Lynn’s most sought-after addresses—Number 48 blends restored heritage with future flexibility.

This early 1900s square-fronted villa has undergone a dramatic transformation. Once split into three flats, it’s now a warm, personality-filled home where original features meet thoughtful, timeless upgrades. Polished timber floors, soaring ceilings, and custom detailing throughout give it that instant feeling of “home”.

Off the bespoke kitchen, the open-plan dining and living area flows seamlessly to an elevated, sun-soaked deck. You’ve got three generous bedrooms, a separate study, and two fully tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating.

Below is where the possibility really starts to show. The 490sqm (approx.) freehold site is already well-prepped for expansion. Surrounded by mature native plantings, there’s built-in privacy and a calming soundtrack of birdsong.

The lower level—with high stud and direct garden access—has been dug out, repiled, and retained. Add a pool, extend the footprint, or build in underneath. The groundwork’s already done. You just need to bring the vision.

There’s also off-street parking for two and excellent storage.

SEALS THE DEAL

A neighbourhood locals fight to get into. Grey Lynn Park is moments away, and so are some of Auckland’s best cafes and eateries—Lilian, Honey Bones, and Frieda’s, just to name a few. Zoned for top local schools, too.
