404/8 Central Road, Kingsland, Auckland

Stunning elevated penthouse!

Occupying a phenomenal position overlooking the sparkling cityscape, this stylish penthouse is immaculately presented with a sleek design and special high-spec features. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a secure undercover carpark plus storage locker face east and an incredible vantage point at the top of this boutique building.

Finished in 2018 to the highest new specifications with design by the award-winning Paul Brown Architects, cedar features meet black steel with high-stud ceilings, large spaces and a clever floorplan that creates useful separation between bedrooms. From the kitchen with its charcoal cabinetry, marble splashback and backlit lighting - an art unto itself, everyday entertaining is easy with seamless movement over French oak timber flooring between the dining, lounge and alfresco areas.

Full-length sliding doors open out to the covered, terrace, flanked by stylish cedar which boasts the best seat in the house ideal for sunrise yoga or after-work drinks. Plush carpet in the master suite signals functional luxury, aided by an integrated wardrobe and outdoor access, while a fully-tiled ensuite with rainforest shower, underfloor heating, super-sized vanity and a monochrome colour palette offers the perfect place to get ready for the day.

A smart second bedroom doubles as an excellent workspace offering flexibility or a stylish guest suite while valuable additions include seldom seen storage spaces and ducted heating and air-conditioning.

Unparalleled in its position right across the street from leafy Nixon Park, with the super cool Kingsland Village, train station and Eden Park nearby, a few more minutes takes you to upscale Ponsonby, the vibrant K'Road precinct and Auckland's CBD. Offering mass appeal as a flexible lock-up-and-leave residence for downsizers and sometimes city-siders, investors will appreciate high rental returns, while young professionals will see value here as a fresh, modern entry into this desirable city-fringe enclave.
