10 Herbert Road, Mount Eden, Auckland City, Auckland

Classic bones, modern soul – this grand villa is made for the rhythm of family life today. Ornate high ceilings, polished timber floors and stained-glass windows are complemented by a light-filled modern layout and European styling touches.

The design cleverly creates generous spaces to gather and quiet retreats for music, reading or study. Spacious sunlit open-plan living takes centre stage, flowing to an expansive covered deck for year-round relaxation and entertaining. Every detail has been carefully considered – from the mudroom, laundry and cosy corners to generous storage, central heating and rainwater tanks – making daily life a breeze.

A charming two-room garden studio with its own (consented) bathroom adds flexibility, perfect as a home office, creative studio or teen retreat. On an elevated 859m² north-facing site, the fully fenced huge garden is both sanctuary and playground, with leafy hideaways and space to roam.

In a coveted location where you can walk to cafés, restaurants and shops in Dominion Road or Mt Eden Village, Eden Park, Farro and direct bus routes to the CBD. Zoned for sought-after schools including Mt Albert Grammar, Epsom Girls Grammar, Balmoral Primary & Intermediate and Mt Eden Normal. Full of warmth, light and everyday ease, this is modern family living done well.
