Overview

Grand Scale, American Art Deco Soul

One of only seven residences in a distinctive 1940s Art Deco building, this exceptional freehold (unit title) apartment offers approximately 260 sqm of single-level living, with the scale, character and comfort of a substantial home. A private entrance opens into a generous formal foyer, which includes a secure outdoor storage room. From here, the thoughtfully designed layout separates into distinct living and bedroom zones. Four bedrooms, including one that can be configured as an office, are complemented by a beautifully renovated bathroom. The main living zone features a formal lounge and dining area with a fireplace, a kitchen, and a separate reading room, flowing through to a second living space and a semi-covered terrace balcony. Privately positioned beyond, the oversized master suite features generous wardrobe space and an impressive ensuite, all showcasing beautiful Art Deco detailing. Meticulously maintained by the current owner, the apartment retains its original character while incorporating modern comforts and facilities. High ceilings, decorative detailing and carefully preserved features give this residence a sense of individuality rarely found in today's apartment market. Adding further appeal are three side-by-side car parks, conveniently positioned directly outside the apartment entrance and tucked away from the street. The building is pet friendly, subject to Body Corporate approval. Within easy walking distance of Auckland University, Auckland Hospital and Auckland Domain, and located within the Grammar Zone, this is a unique opportunity to secure a substantial character residence in a highly accessible city-fringe location.
