305/2 Ariki Street, Grey Lynn

Less than one week until Auction Day The current owner has fallen in love with owning a villa and needs this sold to move forward with her dream. Let this one become your dream. A safe, secure oasis of calm above the city buzz, this one-of-a-kind apartment on the top residential floor of the innovative Turing Building has been cleverly customised for a cool New York-chic vibe. The owner bought off the plans in 2014 and has individualised great spaces in a layout designed to lap up morning sun, creating a compelling, well-considered, fresh light ambience. Anchoring the living, pale timber floors extend to a 8 sq m (approx.) balcony that catches uplifting urban and North Shore views. Smart subway tiles surround a big, practical kitchen incorporating abundant storage and bench space. Bath-time is bliss soaking in the indulgent rain shower with warm towels handy in the large drying cupboard. Stepping out to the balcony or savouring the views from bed, the main bedroom comes with a walk-in wardrobe, stunning curtaining and Italian wool carpet while a versatile extra room doubles as both study and guest space. Named after Alan Turing, inventor of the modern computer, this luxury, architecturally designed complex of just 27 boutique homes is renowned for thoughtful amenities that set it apart, in a convenient location between Ponsonby Road and Grey Lynn shops. Residents love the breathtaking shared rooftop with its luxe party lounge, snooker room and substantial north-west-facing terrace that revels in panoramic views toward the Waitakere Ranges. The spacious basement garaging includes more storage. So many reasons why this tightly held complex has attracted a close community of mainly owner occupiers. Unique in every way, this city lifestyle retreat is a high-quality slice of heaven for design aficionados. Auction 2:00 p.m. Friday 19 June On-Site (unless sold prior)....
