4 Wallingford Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland City, Auckland

Perched above Grey Lynn Park, this tranquil family haven enjoys an extraordinary position with sweeping green views, spectacular sunsets and space to truly embrace the best of summer living. With its generous three-level layout, expansive outdoor entertaining and magnificent pool complex, the home offers an effortless blend of character, comfort and lifestyle.

The weatherboard residence retains beautiful original features including stained glass, polished timber floors and batten ceilings, complemented by thoughtful modern updates. Entry is on the top level, where the dining area with gas fireplace flows through to open-plan living and kitchen, all opening to a large west-facing deck that captures the lush park outlook and glowing evening sunsets – the perfect setting for relaxed entertaining, summer BBQs and evenings with friends. This level also includes a guest bedroom and bathroom, while downstairs offers three further bedrooms, two bathrooms (including the master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe) and a second lounge opening to another expansive deck, allowing space for both lively gatherings and quiet family time.

On the ground floor, the oversized internal-access double garage provides exceptional flexibility. Currently carpeted, it could easily serve as a rumpus room, teen retreat, gym or creative studio, supported by abundant secure off-street parking for visiting friends and family.

Outside, the heated saltwater pool and sun-drenched decks form the heart of the home’s summer lifestyle, seemingly suspended above the park, while a private area (ideal for a hot tub) offers the perfect place to unwind beneath the stars.

Life here extends beyond the property boundary, with the vast green space of Grey Lynn Park offering playgrounds, walking paths, basketball court, pump track and open fields just moments away. Tucked quietly on the Ponsonby side of Grey Lynn, this peaceful neighbourhood is only a short stroll to the vibrant cafés, boutiques and restaurants of Ponsonby Road, along with Cox’s Bay, West Lynn village and excellent public transport connections.

Homes in this remarkable park-side position are tightly held and for good reason.
