A masterful juxtaposition of gorgeous original period character and sleek practical contemporary design, this elegant 1-bedroom residence in Middle Courtville is unique. One of only 12 apartments set along a quiet, leafy inner-city street, this much admired and beautifully maintained Category 1 Heritage Edwardian landmark was completed in 1915. It was Auckland's first purpose built block of self-contained apartments created for women to work in the city during the war.
To enter the beautifully restored foyer is to step back in time. The apartment itself retains superb original period detail including high ceilings with ornate cornices, stained glass windows, kauri floors and an ornate tiled fireplace, yet the introduction of tasteful modern amenities makes this home eminently liveable.
Chic minimalist design makes a cool, sleek statement in the kitchen ensuring cooking and entertaining is effortless. Superbly-lit custom solutions are found throughout and even the bathroom surprises with its luxurious makeover.
Owners enjoy a substantial, sun-drenched communal garden at the rear of the building and there is ample 24/7residents' street parking out front.
Set in a desirable location in an established heritage precinct by Old Government House, the University, Albert Park, the CBD, the waterfront and more, just move in, unpack, and enjoy the privilege of a rare character home.
