6  -  42 St Stephens Ave  St Stephens Avenue, Parnell



It's Auckland's oldest suburb, and still prized as one of the city's most charming and convenient residential locations by those fortunate enough to secure a property here.and, ther is no more desirable address in historic Parnell than tree-lined St Stephens Avenue.



In 1910, kauri gum export entrepreneur  Max Paykel recognised the attraction and advantages of what many discerning commentators today regard as the "plum" site in this area - a large natural terrace on the corner of St Stephens Ave and Gladstone Rd. The stately but understated, att timer Paykel residence - now being fully and lovingly restored and landscaped for it's new, private owners - remains on part of the property as an enduring testament to Parnell's gracious heritage.
