4J/220 Victoria Street West, Freemans Bay, Auckland

FREEHOLD FLAGSHIP APARTMENT 3 BED, 5 CAR PARKS

When the developer of The Beaumont complex had the opportunity to choose one apartment for himself- this was his pick. That speaks volumes about the credentials of this north-facing corner penthouse which challenges conventions.

This Freemans Bay apartment rivals a standalone home for space, convenience and location. But add in the lifestyle benefits and it shines.
Larger than many suburban residences with an internal floor area of aprox 140sqm, nothing is compromised. Check off three bedrooms - master with ensuite and walk-in-wardrobe, a family bathroom, and a capacious open-plan living space with a balcony that captures the sun and you'll soon see that apartment living is liberating.

All the comforts of boutique hotel living including a well-equipped gym and heated swimming pool with all of the advantages of a Freemans Bay address - and no lawns to mow or maintenance to tie you down. Let nearby Victoria Park be your backyard..

The city is temptingly in reach when the cosmopolitan you needs a dose of culture or retail therapy - yet once you close the door on your apartment, you could be a world away.

Ponsonby is a gentle walk away and the evolving and ground-breaking Wynyard Quarter is in your neighbourhood. This is becoming the next big hospitality and business hub for the city. The smart money is drifting this way and The Beaumont is at the gateway. It was ahead of its time and the high proportion of owner-occupation in the exclusive complex is testimony to the quality of the build and the desirability of the site.

Hard to replicate and often admired, this apartment comes with five - yes, five - car parks. That was the whim of the developer who knew the value of creating a viable city home with a passive income stream.

While clearly an aspirational place to call home, the apartment is currently tenanted so could appeal to an investor with an eye on the prize. Returning $1040 pw (with two car parks also rented out) and with relatively low outgoings, you may recognise the investment potential.
