28 Blake Street Ponsonby, Auckland City

Four levels, four balconies, three bedrooms, two ensuites… one super-cool pad! On the cusp of Ponsonby, Herne Bay and St Marys, this boutique beauty is one for city slickers.

The multi-level townhouse is the ultimate balance between city-fringe life, entertaining prowess and sanctuary-style living.

Two balconies bookend the open-plan hub, giving off Mediterannean terrace vibes. Push open the bi-fold window in the kitchen and feel the buzz of your neighbourhood, and keep the conversation flowing with your guests as they enjoy the warmth of the northerly aspect.

And, on the top floor is the retreat to beat them all! Dedicated to the master suite, you'll find your escape from busy days with the en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and Juliet balcony. Watch the sun set over the city as you wind down!

The third floor houses the two remaining double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one of which is an ensuite). One could be the nursery as you start your family, another a home office, or get a couple of flatties in!

Busy professionals, young families or those looking for a lock-and-leave will appreciate the urban positioning: paces from Ponsonby and Jervois roads and their plethora of cafes, wine bars, restaurants and shops. High-decile schooling is walkable and you're in the Auckland Girls' Grammar School zone.

With the Outer Link bus stopping nearby and whisking you into the heart of the CBD, and motorway connections so close, it's an ideal spot for city execs. There's also a tandem, internal access garage to keep the wheels safe!

Stylish and superbly located, you'll need to be quick as my Vendor's circumstances have changed, and instructions are clear.
