First home? City crash pad? A place where your dog gets an invite too? This freehold one bedroom apartment in Beaumont Quarter ticks all three. Small in size, it packs plenty into the package.

Forget long corridors and lift small talk. Here, you have your own entrance and dual private courtyards. Throw open the doors, put the coffee on and let the weekend find you. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area makes good use of the space, with a double bedroom, bathroom and secure basement car park rounding things out.

The location does plenty of the heavy lifting. Victoria Park is across the road, Ponsonby is up the hill, and Wynyard Quarter and the city are an easy walk away. Dinner out, a waterfront wander or a night in town? Leave the car at home.

There’s a pool, gym, spa and sauna for residents, too. Your biggest workout might be deciding which one to use.

And yes, it’s pet friendly. Because getting on the property ladder shouldn’t mean leaving your favourite flatmate behind.

This is your chance to claim your own slice of Freemans Bay. Move in, unpack and start making plans.

Call Blair to take a look. Bring your property wish list. The dog can help with the final decision.
