70 Brighton Road, Parnell

Find another freestanding character home in Parnell for well under $2 million. We'll wait.

In a suburb where apartments have become the entry point, opportunities to own a charming freestanding home are increasingly rare. Rose Cottage offers something genuinely different-a home with warmth, personality and privacy, built in the 1980s, hence without the upkeep of a traditional villa.

Behind its picture-perfect exterior lies an effortlessly liveable home that combines timeless character with modern convenience. Beautifully updated where it matters, the contemporary kitchen forms the heart of the home, while a genuine wood-burning fireplace creates the cosy atmosphere only a cottage can provide.

With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a generous detached studio, there's flexibility for working from home, welcoming guests, pursuing hobbies or creating additional living space. Compact by design yet remarkably spacious in feel, every square metre has been thoughtfully utilised.

Outside, the fully fenced grounds have been designed for easy living rather than endless maintenance. Sunny, private and finished with low-maintenance turf, it's a home that lets you spend weekends enjoying Parnell instead of working in the garden.

And what a location it is.

Leave the car at home and stroll to Parnell's renowned cafés, restaurants, bars and boutiques. Enjoy easy access to Auckland's CBD, motorway connections and the beautiful Eastern Bays. Prestigious schools, parks and everyday amenities are all just moments away, making this one of Auckland's most convenient and desirable addresses.

Rose Cottage delivers something increasingly difficult to find: the charm and individuality of a classic cottage, the ease of modern low-maintenance living, and the independence of a freestanding home-all at a price point that represents exceptional value in Parnell.

If you've been searching for character without compromise, and value in one of Auckland's most tightly held suburbs, this is an opportunity that deserves your attention.
