31 Sale Street, Auckland Central, Auckland

Character-luxe magic

Commanding a prime position on the corner of Sale Street in coveted Freemans Bay, one converted warehouse apartment is architecturally timeless, unique and ultra-cool.

Two bedrooms, a grand bathroom, and abundant storage are punctuated by elegant heritage features, meticulously preserved by sympathetic owners, sparing no expense in an impeccable structural and aesthetic upgrade.

Lofty high ceilings, steel beams, warm exposed brick, and polished native timber provide a fashionable industrial edge grounded in luxury with bespoke light fittings, high-spec fixtures, and the most beautiful treatment of character embellishments.

Sun-soaked and convivial, the sizeable kitchen opens into the dining and living zones, framed by a priceless steel fireplace and stunning stained glass windows.

Gaining a vantage directly facing the iconic Skytower, one loft-style bedroom offers abundant potential as a flexible workspace or functional studio, while a second just off the dining room is a peaceful east-facing parlour.

A rarity in any apartment, the gigantic bathroom is truly impressive, with its inset bathtub, checkerboard floors, new micro cement shower with a rain shower head, and mud room-style laundry - both hugely stylish and extremely practical.

Proven as a high-powered rental performer and short-stay accommodation, this residence evokes an image of the artist, metropolitan professional, or lock-up-and-leave retiree, adding value through the ages as a grand old dame that is matchless in heritage appeal.

Set in the beating heart of the evolving Victoria Quarter precinct, residents enjoy the best of Auckland's urban delights, with walking trails, spectacular scenery, restaurants and retail at Westhaven Marina, Wynyard Quarter, Princes Wharf and the Viaduct, your new playground, plus central city amenities virtually at the door.

Recently receiving a new Code Compliance Certificate, add-value works within the converted 1920s warehouse now exceed modern specifications, including seismic strengthening, double-glazed windows, new insulation, heating, and ventilation, leaving you to walk right in and enjoy the magic.
