8 Birdwood Crescent, Parnell, Auckland

Birdwood beauty

Incredibly close to the lively buzz and heritage charm of the village, this very pretty, classic villa offers a convenient and effortless lifestyle.

Securely tucked behind electric gates, the low maintenance haven sits on the elevated sunny side of the road. Three double bedrooms include the master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Look forward to soaking in the bath in the family bathroom where traditional Perrin and Rowe tapware reflects the home's genteel origins.

You have great options for entertaining at home amidst lovely character features. Afternoon sun pours across the wide frontage where dining alfresco can be enjoyed on a secluded deck in summer. Relax in the elegant lounge with its soft palette, peering out through French doors over the verandah to the Museum. The room flows into a generous casual living and dining space with a large, light-filled open plan kitchen that has lots of counterspace and plentiful storage. Open fires infuse both areas with warmth in the winter and an HRV system keeps interiors fresh and ventilated all year long.

Superbly positioned for a breath-taking backdrop of the Museum and Domain with popular cafes, restaurants, bars, galleries and boutique stores a quick level stroll from your door. Take your pick of where to grab a coffee or eat each night.

In an area that's popular with locals and visitors alike, parking commands a premium. Hence, basement garaging plus secure off-street is a gift. This Double Grammar and Parnell School zoned gem is handy to the Village, Newmarket, CBD, public transport and so many local amenities.
