Property details

SOLD Above Declared Reserve

For builders, renovators and interior designers with vision, this is the kind of opportunity that rarely comes to market. Rich in character and positioned in a blue-chip city-fringe location, 127 John Street offers the perfect canvas to restore, refine and add significant value over time.

Original charm, natural light and undeniable position combine here with genuine scope to modernise, reconfigure and elevate the home into something truly special. Whether your vision leans toward a carefully curated designer residence, a sophisticated renovation project, or a long-term investment in one of Auckland's most tightly held pockets, the potential is undeniable.

Perched proudly on the elevated side of one of Ponsonby's most recognisable rows, The Six Sisters remain an iconic piece of the neighbourhood's architectural landscape - and 127 John Street presents a rare opportunity to reimagine one for a new generation.

Arranged across two levels, the existing layout provides strong foundations to work from, with open-plan living spaces flowing to a sun-soaked west-facing courtyard and lawn. Upstairs, the primary bedroom enjoys a peaceful outlook across neighbouring greenery, complete with its own private balcony - a beautiful starting point for a future transformation.

The practical fundamentals are already in place, including three bedrooms, one bathroom, outdoor storage and the rare advantage of two side-by-side car parks - an increasingly valuable asset in this part of Ponsonby.

Positioned moments from both Richmond Road and Ponsonby Road, the lifestyle offering is as compelling as the opportunity itself, with some of the city's best cafes, restaurants and boutiques just a short stroll away.

Bring your architect, your builder and your imagination - this is a chance to create something exceptional within an A-grade Ponsonby setting.

With a declared reserve below $1,300,000 this property will be sold. Prompt inspection is encouraged.
