A century-old Grey Lynn villa - with room for a full-sized cricket pitch or the city's longest lap pool in the backyard - has hit the market.
Built in 1900, the three-bedroom villa at 78 Sackville St is likely to appeal to buyers keen to take on a do-up project, the realtor says.
It's also likely to attract developers and those keen to subdivide as a result of its rare, super stretched-out 976sq m backyard. That backyard led the council to value the property at $2.375 million.

"It is one of the largest blocks of land left in that Grey Lynn area," Bayleys selling agent Luke Crockford said.
