Presenting the pinnacle of penthouse living in Parnell, this elegant residence is located in a boutique complex of just nine at the end of exclusive St Stephen’s Avenue. It’s been recently refurbished by the current owners and will entice discerning buyers that love the area and who seek the ease of lifestyle an apartment offers, but who refuse to compromise on space and luxury. A prime position affords the apartment breathtaking 180-degree views, which encompass the city skyline and Sky Tower, Auckland ports, across the harbour to Devonport and around to Rangitoto. The glass-walled loggia can be fully enclosed or opened as required, making it a beautiful, all-season entertaining room. Timber herringbone floors anchor gallery-style walls and electric blinds throughout make life easy. The chef’s kitchen has a large island and Miele appliances and overlooks the open-plan bar area, dining and living space. A separate lounge creates an intimate area for evening relaxing. Walls of glass sliders showcase the outlook and create a seamless connection with the wraparound decks. In its own luxurious wing, the master retreat flows out to the loggia and boasts a dressing room and stunning bathroom with large tiled walk in shower. The second bedroom, bathroom with elegant bath, home office and powder room are located in their own wing. The apartment comes with three carparks side by side and a generous storage locker, as well as shared use with only 8 other residences of the tropical swimming pool complex and barbeque area. While the penthouse has been designed as a true sanctuary, the location is an easy walk from the heart of cosmopolitan Parnell, with its choice of cafes, restaurants, bars, boutiques and galleries. Dove Myer Robinson Park and the Parnell Baths are just a few short steps from home, along with the Rose Gardens and popular Rosies eatery around the corner. Both the CBD, Newmarket and motorway onramps are in handy proximity. Having relocated up north, the owners are ready to sell on Auction Day - unless it’s snapped up sooner.
