The mystery carved into an Auckland cottage door frame 128 years ago

A historic Onehunga worker's cottage, built in the 1870s, is for sale, featuring a mysterious carving from 1898. Originally a small dwelling, it has been thoughtfully extended and modernised over the decades into a 142m², three-bedroom home.

The property successfully blends old and new, retaining character features like a working fireplace alongside a modern kitchen and outdoor area. The current owner highlights its unique flow and the convenient, multicultural location, which is now ready for a new family.
