6B/118 Gladstone Road, Parnell

Grand, gracious and exquisitely finished, this 233sqm residence is located on the top floor of Parnell’s landmark building, Gladstone Apartments. Showcasing the proportions and exemplary quality found in luxury homes, space and storage isn’t sacrificed here and the property comes with a total of four dedicated, secure carparks, a storage locker and two 5sqm storage rooms. Interiors are a work of art, showcasing a timeless palette of soft, earthy tones and textures. This incorporates imported American Oak flooring, luxe marble and high-grade carpets, with generous, gallery-style walls for displaying art collections. 3.1m and 2.8m ceiling studs enhance the distinct sense of space within the single level floorplan, which flows out to 43sqm of tiled balconies. A northerly aspect floods the home with all day sun, while walls of double glazed glass frame cinematic, ever-changing vistas of Auckland harbour, the North Shore, Devonport, Rangitoto and beyond. Designed with chefs and entertainers in mind, the state-of-the-art kitchen is at the heart of the home and boasts European appliances, both gas and induction cooking, and an enormous, well-equipped scullery with servery. The formal lounge and dining areas spill out to covered terraces and the large study could be utilised as a media room or third bedroom as required. The sumptuous master retreat has a large walk-through dressing room and luxurious marble ensuite, and the second bedroom is serviced by its own marble bathroom. While the energy of Auckland city’s vibrant landscape hums below and the CBD, Newmarket and Parnell are just five minutes away, the apartment is a peaceful, quiet and private sanctuary up above. After 19 magnificent years in their ‘palace,’ the current owners are moving on to retirement living, meaning this extraordinary apartment is seriously for sale.
