Behind its timeless villa façade lies something truly unexpected.

Completely reimagined, this is a residence where every finish, fixture and detail has been elevated. The work is done. The vision has been realised. All that's left is to move in and enjoy.

Positioned just moments from Ponsonby Road, it offers the best of both worlds - vibrant urban living paired with the privacy, security and ease of a true sanctuary. Even better, it comes with what so few homes in this location can offer: a generous double garage and an additional off-street car park.

A skylit entrance welcomes you inside, where wide-plank French oak floors and beautifully curated interiors immediately set the tone. The main suite is a luxurious escape, complete with four double wardrobes and a stunning travertine ensuite. Two further bedrooms provide flexibility - guests, family, a media room or office, while a separate laundry room with floor to ceiling storage enjoys walk through access to a private garden space.

Then comes the showstopper.

Wrapped in dramatic steel-framed glazing and flooded with sunshine along with a striking circular skylight, the open-plan living space is designed to impress. At its centre, the Studio Italia kitchen pairs marble benchtops and warm timber cabinetry with a fully equipped scullery - equally suited to intimate dinners or large-scale entertaining.

Travertine paving flows seamlessly outdoors to a louvred alfresco pavilion, creating a true extension of the living space. Beyond, the beautifully landscaped garden opens to a heated saltwater pool, delivering a resort-like setting that's private, peaceful and made for every season.

Homes of this calibre are rarely available. Beautifully designed, flawlessly executed and impossible to replicate, this is luxury without compromise, in one of Auckland's most sought-after neighbourhoods - a rare offering for those who appreciate style ... this is the one.
