This stunning sub-penthouse in the boutique Ford Residences redefines apartment living. Combining the grandeur, warmth and flow of a home with the effortless luxury of a high-spec city fringe retreat, every element has been meticulously considered, resulting in a lifestyle masterpiece.

Designed by Patterson Associates, this 350sqm (approx.) property with exquisite north-facing interiors is finely tuned for both entertaining and everyday ease. The substantial open plan living and dining opens to the full-length terrace for al fresco entertaining with views across the rooftops of the historic Dilworth Terraces towards Rangitoto and beyond.

Anchoring the heart of the home is a custom kitchen designed to perform with beauty and purpose in equal measure, featuring a bespoke island benchtop, Wolf and Miele appliances and a separate scullery. A separate media lounge delivers comfort for quieter moments plus there is a separate study, laundry and guest powder room.

All three double bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for separation and privacy. The master suite is a standout, featuring sea views plus a generous walk in wardrobe, while two further oversized bedroom suites each boast their own ensuite, walk in wardrobe and access to the deck for soaking up the harbour vista.

Secure parking for three vehicles, two storage rooms and a private entry via the cobblestone laneway offer privacy, peace and practicality in one of Auckland's most coveted pockets. From here, stroll to Parnell Road, the waterfront, Britomart or the CBD with ease.

A signature apartment in a boutique building of only eleven, this is a masterclass in elevated city living for those who want the scale of a house and the luxury and ease of an apartment. Boutique Parnell living for those unwilling to compromise.
