20 Ryle Street, Freemans Bay, Auckland

A cut above

Welcome to a home where views, location and lifestyle merge seamlessly into a masterpiece of modern executive living.

Occupying a 407sqm site on one of Freemans Bay's quietest streets yet moments from the buzz of Ponsonby Road, the owner worked closely with architect Sam Williams (Studio SWA Architecture) to significantly transform this gorgeous Victorian-era villa into an extraordinary residence of the highest order just five years ago.

Open plan living is a study in style, flowing effortlessly out to north facing alfresco living purposefully orientated to provide maximum access to the breathtaking views across the city to the Sky Tower and Rangitoto.

Entertaining is eternally impressive thanks to a super-sized kitchen with Neff appliances and custom cabinetry providing the ultimate canvas on which to create memorable meals. Stay on this level and enjoy the views, or head down to the immaculate gardens with a Swim Spa for enjoying year round.

Four bedrooms are cleverly arranged with two doubles configured as an office and a second living room at the front of the home, while a third comes with private access out to a sun-soaked courtyard. A sprawling modern bathroom lies beyond, as well as a large laundry, cloakroom and additional guest bathroom.

The primary suite occupies the entire uppermost level, with walk through robe and those incredible views, while internal access to double car garaging, air conditioning, rain sensor skylights and underfloor heating are just some of the high spec additions that make this home a cut above the rest.

Finished to perfection with European light fittings and premium touches, off street parking for additional vehicles is also included, but chances are you'll be spending more time on foot given the impeccable location. Stroll to Ponsonby Road for dinner in minutes, or head to Westhaven or Wynyard Quarter for walks by the water. An unrivalled lifestyle in an exquisite haven.
