8 Farnham Street, Parnell, Auckland City, Auckland

Tucked into one of Parnell’s most sought-after pockets, this centrally located two bedroom townhouse offers something increasingly hard to find, space, outdoor living and affordability, all in one.

The home feels larger than most comparable options in the area, with an easy open-plan layout that flows to a north-facing, fully fenced courtyard. It’s sunny, private and low-maintenance, making it a genuine alternative to apartment living. The complex is also pet-friendly for owner-occupiers, which is a rare bonus this close to the city.

The kitchen is well laid out with entertaining in mind and plenty of storage, while both bedrooms are generously sized. The bathroom is filled with natural light thanks to a skylight and includes laundry space along with a practical shower-over-bath setup.

A dedicated off-street car park adds everyday convenience, and there is potential to rent an additional car park within the complex if desired.

Cafés, restaurants, galleries, the Rose Gardens and Parnell Markets are all close by, along with easy access to the CBD, Newmarket, Auckland Domain, motorways and public transport, including the Parnell Train Station. The universities are also within easy reach.

Zoned for Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls, this is a smart option for families, downsizers or investors. With low-maintenance living, it works just as well as a home as it does an investment.

Well-located, well-proportioned and hard to replace opportunities like this in Parnell don’t come up often.
