Most one bedroom apartments keep things fairly predictable. This apartment is not one of them.

This split-level home brings together high ceilings, timber flooring, two bathrooms and a deck within one of the central city’s boutique character buildings.

Downstairs, the living area has the volume that modern apartments often try to recreate but rarely achieve. The kitchen is a proper workspace rather than a row of appliances pushed against the living-room wall, while the deck gives you genuine outdoor space in a part of the city where it is far from standard.

Upstairs, the bedroom sits apart from the main living area. It gives the home clear separation between where you entertain and where you switch off, instead of asking one open-plan room to perform every job.

The second bathroom is another welcome surprise. It makes guests easier, mornings less negotiated and the entire apartment feel more substantial than the usual one-bedroom offering.

Lorne Street Lofts has the individuality buyers look for in genuine character apartments. The building is smaller and more personal than the large modern complexes, while Lorne Street places Auckland Art Gallery, Albert Park, the university precinct and the now-open Te Waihorotiu Station within the surrounding neighbourhood.

For an owner-occupier, this apartment feels like a genuine home rather than a temporary stop between addresses. For an investor, its combination of space, character, two bathrooms and outdoor living gives it a clear point of difference from the usual one-bedroom offering.
