The term "you look good for your age" certainly does not apply at 36 Bradford Street. In a less than desirable state, this home certainly has a huge amount of work required to fit in with it's charming neighbours.

What is key here is location. Barely ever available and certainly not in this complete blank canvas condition, homes in the coveted central Parnell village area offer visionary and canny purchasers an opportunity to live not only one of Aucklands oldest and well-heeled suburbs, but also a suburb convenient to everything the city has to offer and within the Double Grammar Zones. World class shopping, restaurants and the CBD are very near your currently crumbling doorstep, and transport and access to the thriving beaches and Parnell, with its village atmosphere, is easy.

Explore your options regarding the building with resource consents and architects. Transform her or seek a more drastic path on advice from the Auckland Council. You can really let your creativity run rampant in this sublime location.

This time traveler is weary, give it peace and rest and reap the reward offered by the stunning location.
