City living is easier when the essentials are already sorted. Set high in Republic Apartments at 8C/10 Lorne Street, this 82m² Te Aro apartment brings together two bedrooms, one bathroom, garage parking and an elevated outlook in a location that keeps Wellington close. Light-filled interiors and a clean contemporary finish give it a calm feel above the city, with room to settle in and make it your own.

Open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas enjoy real volume, helped by soaring ceilings and high windows that draw daylight deep inside. The well-appointed kitchen has ample bench space, good storage and bar seating for quick meals, while timber flooring keeps the shared areas warm and connected. Sliding doors take the living room out to the balcony, so fresh air and city views become part of the everyday. The long living zone gives dining and seating clear places of their own, helping the apartment feel settled rather than squeezed, even with both bedrooms in use.

Both bedrooms are carpeted and set away from the living area. The larger bedroom makes a restful retreat, while the second suits guests, flatmates, study or work from home use. The bathroom has a glass shower, vanity and handy storage and a dedicated utility space keeps the laundry tucked out of sight. It is a simple layout that uses its 82m² well.

The elevated balcony has room for a table and chairs, giving you an easy spot for an evening drink or a quiet breather above Te Aro. Secure garage parking is a real bonus here, while lift access and tidy common areas strengthen the lock and leave appeal. You can park up, head upstairs and enjoy the city without giving much thought to upkeep.

Moore Wilson’s is directly across the road, with Courtenay Place, Cuba Street, Te Papa and the waterfront all within easy reach. Dinner out, a waterfront walk or a quick grocery run can all fit easily into the day and the car can stay parked when it suits. Call Alan Wilson to arrange your viewing and see how well this Lorne Street apartment fits.
