Sun all day, and the best seat in the house at dusk. From the top floor of this ideally located building, the north facing deck is the place to unwind with a drink as the sun slips behind the Waitākere Ranges and the city lights start to sparkle. This is the kind of light and space a one-bedroom apartment rarely delivers.

Now let's talk about the sizeable layout, because that’s what sets this one apart. With very generous proportions the bedroom isn't tucked away inside like other layouts in the building; it has its own sunny window and door that opens onto the balcony that runs across the width of the apartment. Two skylights over the kitchen and bathroom keep the whole apartment bright, from morning to evening.

Around here life is easy. Basque Park is at the bottom of the street for some morning exercise or a lazy weekend in the sun. The new Maungawhau (Mt Eden) train station is a three to five minute walk across the road and down the hill, part of the City Rail Link opening this year, and a bus into the city stops right outside the door. Kingsland village and its restaurants and pubs are close by, with Urbanaut Brewery, the Morningside Tavern and Eden Park all within easy reach.

After twenty happy years of ownership, first as an owner occupier, then as reliable rental property, this is now surplus to requirements as she is settling into a new life out of the city. She has loved this apartment, and hopes its next owner will too.

Currently vacant and ready to move into, do not delay! Apartments like this are often sought, but seldom found... Snap it up before someone else does.
