Finding a character residence that offers both private outdoor space and two bathrooms is a challenge; finding one at an entry-level price point is almost unheard of. This 77m² apartment within the Lorne Street Lofts bridges that gap perfectly. What this means for you is the ability to secure a home with genuine architectural soul and a functional dual-bathroom layout without the typical "character premium."
Stepping inside, you are greeted by the unique volume and material honesty only a heritage building can provide. The inclusion of a private deck offers a rare urban retreat, providing a breathability seldom found in historic conversions. Whether looking for a sophisticated first home or a strategic city base, the combination of two rooms and two bathrooms ensures a level of privacy that supports a variety of modern living arrangements.
The building’s history is as storied as the city itself. Originally established in 1882 as the "Auckland Turkish Baths" and rebuilt in brick in 1913, it was once a renowned institution of wellness. Converted in 1997, the complex retains its distinctive character while adapting for contemporary life. This legacy of solid brick construction provides a sense of permanence and quality that sets it apart from modern high-rise developments.
The Lorne Street location is the cultural hub of the CBD. You are moments from the new Te Waihorotiu Station and the upcoming Victoria Street Linear Park, which will provide a green connection between Albert and Victoria Parks. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Auckland's history in a location poised for significant future growth.
