16B Burleigh Street, Grafton, Auckland

Heart and home

Fabulously positioned and luminous with natural light, this smart city fringe residence seamlessly blends modern comforts, thoughtful touches and spades of style.

Split across four levels featuring three bedrooms and dual living spaces, the heart of the home is undoubtedly the century old window frames which have been carefully extracted from Matamata's Waharoa Dairy Factory and painstakingly restored to take pride of place as the historic point of difference in this beautiful abode.

Tastefully mixing texture to create a space which is both warm and fresh, whitewashed beams and timber mix perfectly with exposed pipes, polished timber floors and concrete stairwell walls.

Boasting a dreamy urban configuration, the ground floor delivers a study or second living space plus double garaging, the second; full size living complete with living room balcony and a capacious chefs' kitchen.
Pop up one more to three sizeable bedrooms and on the fourth and final floor - the piece de resistance, an al fresco lovers' fantasy - full sized roof terraces east and west mean morning coffee with sunrise, long weekend lunches and mandatory cocktails at sundown.

Private, peaceful and blessed according to Maori custom, the original owners/builders have even ensured New Zealand Greenstone was placed in four corners of the home, adding an element of spirituality to this very special space.
Nestled amongst some of the city's best eateries - think The French Cafe, Lillius and Kazuya, close to exciting entertainment venues and serene green spaces, Grafton is one of Auckland's suburbs on the rise thanks in part to its proximity to city spoils, excellent connection to motorways and transport routes and an insatiable appetite for quality urban property.

Presenting a rare opportunity for the modern sophisticate, equal parts immaculate presentation and careful craftsmanship, this is a home bursting with added value and priceless style.
