9 Bridgewater Road, Parnell, Auckland

Only three minutes to the city, surrounded by a canopy of mature trees framing views of the harbour and Devonport, this remarkable property occupies a private and secluded 1,252 sq m (more or less) site in one of Parnell's most tightly held addresses. Originally designed in 1968 by architect John Porter for his growing family and thoughtfully evolved over time, it is a home whose architectural form exists in quiet harmony with its environment.
Conceived around Porter's distinctive floorplan, the residence unfolds as a series of connected spaces, each carefully positioned to embrace light, privacy and the surrounding gardens. Original Tawa flooring, exposed blockwork, expansive glazing and generous living areas reflect the integrity of the original design, while considered updates have ensured effortless modern living.

At the centre of the property, a sun-drenched deck and cascading outdoor terraces overlook a heated pool, spa and petanque court, creating a setting that feels more resort than city residence. Lush subtropical planting softly compliments the architecture and enhances the sense of retreat, giving rise to what can only be described as an oasis of calm. A separate studio, originally designed as Porter's own architectural workspace, adds another layer to the home's rich story.

Private, peaceful and deeply rooted in its surroundings, this is a property of enduring character and rare architectural provenance, just moments from the village, waterfront and everything that makes Parnell one of Auckland's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
