Iconic 1970s North Shore home with a cinematic past comes to market

• Park Rise property featured in NZ films and advertising campaigns listed for first time in 25 years
• 1970’s six-bedroom home zoned for Auckland’s North Shore schools
• Property boasts all-day sun and sweeping panoramic views of Campbell’s Bay

It’s not every day a house with its own film credits comes to market. But after 25 years, one of the North Shore’s most recognisable properties is stepping back into the spotlight.

Built in 1970 by JBL Construction as a home for the Jeffs family, 22 Park Rise in Campbell’s Bay is a scene-stealing statement property that’s been a favourite location for advertisements, magazine features, and film productions.

Featuring in everything from glossy magazines (New Zealand House & Garden) to major productions, including the Woody Bourbon advertisement and numerous commercials, the home even took centre stage in the retelling of the infamous Mr Asia story, Underbelly NZ: Land of the Long Green Cloud

Yet, beyond its striking 1970s architecture and timeless character, this property boasts warmth and homely charm. Think vintage wallpaper, original timber joinery, and sun-filled rooms that look out to sweeping sea views across Campbell’s Bay and beyond.

“This home is a true icon, both on screen and in the community,” says Nadja Court, listings agent of Barfoot & Thompson. “It’s rare to find a property that combines such character and cinematic history with an unbeatable location and lifestyle.”

Striking a balance between privacy and community, this stunning 290m2 home sits on an 822m2 site, in a neighbourhood known for its strong sense of connection.

And with its retro good looks, spectacular views, and proven star quality, this North Shore property is ready for its next leading role - as the home of a new generation.
