1/30 Princes Street Northcote Point, North Shore City

Here's your chance to own a piece of history in one of Northcote Point's most tightly held and desirable streets. Welcome to Barra - a character-filled villa with timeless charm, waiting for a new chapter.

Located at 1/30 Princes Street, this gracious home was originally built in the 1890s and named Barra - a Gaelic girl's name meaning "fair-headed" and also the name of an island off the west coast of Scotland in the outer Hebrides. A second storey was added in the 1970s.

Inside, the original villa showcases classic features - polished timber floors, soaring ceilings and decorative detailing. The ground level has two bedrooms - one with a sunroom, two bathrooms, a spacious lounge/dining area and a recently renovated kitchen. Upstairs, accessible via a separate entrance, is a large self-contained sunny suite with sweeping views of the harbour and Rangitoto Island. Ideal for guests, as a potential Airbnb or it could be a great work from home studio.

You're steps from the iconic Northcote Tavern and a short stroll to the Bridgeway Cinema, Clarence Road Eatery and the award-winning Engine Room restaurant. With the Northcote ferry terminal within walking distance, your city commute couldn't be easier.
