6/8 Basque Road, Eden Terrace, Auckland

Basque in space

Don't settle for less when you can enjoy plenty of space and still secure your position on the doorstep to the best of the city in one attractive and achievable urban retreat.

Perched on the edge of Basque Park in the heart of the action, Eight The Mews is a tightly held complex for its prime location and spacious apartments, and this two bedroom residence is a premium exemplar.

The generous sense of space is evident the moment you step inside to the open plan living, dining and kitchen which extends directly out to private, covered alfresco living with views across the park and to the lights of the city. You will be impressed by this bigger-than-most balcony, positioned to capture all day sun and the perfect spot for sunset cocktails before heading into the CBD or Ponsonby for dinner, or for morning coffees after a jog around the park with the dog.

The large, immaculately presented primary suite also enjoys its own access to the balcony, and comes with a contemporary ensuite and walk in robe plus great additional storage. The second bedroom is perfect for shared living or ideal as a work from office, while a family-sized bathroom comes with separate bath and cleverly discrete laundry.

Larger than many new apartments, the residence also comes with two secure, tandem carparks and a substantial storage locker for taking care of the excess. Originally built to accommodate owner-occupiers looking for a low maintenance, central city home base close to motorway links, it's the perfect proposition for professionals working in the city, astute investors wanting to add to their portfolio or downsizers who may be spending more time at the beach house or travelling the globe.

With one of the city's prettiest parks on your doorstep and just a short walk from the CBD and vibrant Ponsonby and K' Road districts, this property is the cosmopolitan dream.
