4/123 St Stephens Avenue, Parnell, Auckland

Enduring style, impeccable views - Final Viewing

This exquisite penthouse apartment in Parnell's most prestigious avenue provides the ultimate lock-up-and-leave on a family-sized scale, positioned to soak up the jaw-dropping views from every angle.

One of only four in an extremely tightly held boutique masonry block, this masterpiece occupies the entire top floor and possesses its own independent and exclusive entrance, elevator and garage.

Floating timber stairs along with an elevator take you from the exclusive entranceway up into the super-sized main living areas, which unfold atop French limestone flooring with underfloor heating for year round comfort. The large footprint maximises the panoramic outlook and multiple access points flow out to an expansive north-facing deck where Rangitoto sits front and centre, an unobstructed vista that could never be built out.

The elongated Poggenpohl kitchen has been designed with effortless grand-scale entertaining in mind, featuring integrated Gaggenau appliances for a chic and seamless finish, all centred behind a colossal stone island. A gas fireplace positioned at the end of the kitchen presents a cosy sitting area next to a private deck to soak up the morning sunshine over the bay and boat sheds.

The primary suite is a superb sanctuary featuring a private terrace, wardrobing and space to soak up the incredible views over beautiful Parnell homes, the Harbour Bridge and the city. As with the rest of the home, no expense has been spared, sporting opulent wallpaper, luxurious curtains and shutters and double glazing.

There is a secondary bedroom and family bathroom, while the home office or media room could be repurposed as an additional bedroom if required. The home comes with a fully automated system to control gates, alarms, lighting and music at the touch of a button. Its own double garage with internal access along with a personal lift is a rarity.

Positioned on one of Auckland's most prestigious and coveted streets, this is a once in a lifetime offering.
