8/135 Jervois Road, Herne Bay, Auckland

Quiet retreat in the heart of the action

Savour the best of all worlds in a peaceful cosmopolitan haven just steps from the scenic action along Jervois Road. Tucked down a private laneway, this two-bedroom apartment in tightly held Grenadine Court is a rare and exquisite gem.

Immaculately appointed and one of just nine, the residence's impeccable north-facing, top-floor location comes with views across the leafy streets to the harbour, for sunsets enjoyed from both open plan living and dining and the primary bedroom. Freshly refurbished 1960s steel windows with modern glazing offer UV protection and allow the sun to stream in, while original Tawa floorboards have been beautifully restored and unify the home's lifestyle-led footprint.

The vendors oversaw the instalment of a chic modern kitchen, which includes premium European tapware and integrated Miele appliances, a rarity in apartment living.

Original mid-century wardrobing in the main bedroom has been beautifully maintained, while the second bedroom comes with wired fibre for those looking for to establish a home office in a premium location.

The stylish modern bathroom and laundry refurbishment has also been completed with a contemporary cool aesthetic that can be seen throughout the apartment, while smart tech, a covered carport and a spacious storage unit provide an effortless modern living.

Grenadine Court is blissfully body corp-free, while an owners' committee and off-site property manager are in place to ensure maintenance is always taken care of and communal spaces well-tended. The garden is yours to play with if a green thumb is in your wheelhouse, with a mature avocado tree and vege patches in place.

In a quiet enclave of its own yet moments from dinner at Andiamo and coffee from Five Loaves, not to mention fabulous shopping and bars, this is the ultimate achievable Northern Slopes address for urban adventurers.
