Apartment for sale, 402/5 Hohipere Street, Auckland, in Auckland, New Zealand

The owner calls her Apartment Le Mouchoir because it's small , but it's so perfectly planned that she felt compelled to write a thank you letter to Pip Cheshire for his thrilling design. SKHY , formerly the 1970's Winstone Aggregate head office , provided Cheshire Architects and Lamont and Co with a wonderful canvas to create different floor plates and therefore attract a wide range of residential buyers. The interior detail is elegantly articulated in the high 3.3 metre stud, the concrete beams, the engineered oak floors and the unexpected scullery that houses the laundry appliances. This is a sophisticated Apartment with one bedroom , a utilities room because it is windowless ( but a single bed can fit in ) , a separate bathroom, and a kitchen that actually works for cooks! The owner wasn't ready to dispose of her book collection , so she had ten metres of bookshelves installed. If you are a reader you will appreciate this. Of course absolutely everyone loves the wall of wardrobing in the bedroom. The balcony is covered and sheltered and perfect for visiting little people to eat their lunch while the grown ups are inside drinking rose , laughing and pontificating around the dining table. Every day you can wander to one of the many eateries nearby . At night there are fabulous restaurants like Lillius, Syds French Cafe or Kazuya to become regulars at ! You can slip over to Burger Geek when you need to be frugal. You might want to invite your dog to join you too. If you work at Auckland Hospital or the Medical School or Auckland University you'll be so grateful to not have to factor in unpredictable travel times. The bright lights of the city skyline will give you small moments of joy. You might call it a pied a terre, a lock and leave or simply your next home, regardless, be prepared to be romanced by this little apartment ! A carpark on a separate title and a storage locker are included in the price. CV NZD$850,000 plus Carpark CV NZD$70,000
