501/217 Great North Road, Grey Lynn

I think this is the best find in the Greater Ponsonby area and truly unexpected. Breath-taking panorama from the city to the Waitakere ranges, look out to a horizon of blue and green from this Penthouse apartment. Defining life for 2020, you will reap the benefit of being the only residence on the top floor, ensuring privacy and seclusion. "217 North" is eight apartments designed by Paul Brown Architects, completed in 2015. The Penthouse has 180 sq m of interior and a whopping 30 sq m more on the north west facing deck, giving room to move and yet still lock up and leave. Sun-filled and private, the floor plan flows seamlessly for indoor outdoor life, from the beautiful kitchen with scullery, to the deck with exterior heating for those spectacular sun sets over the Waitakare Ranges. It's very soulful. The Kauri timber floors are an amazing legacy to cherish. Central cooling and heating is supplemented by a cosy gas fire and underfloor tiled heating. The main bedroom suite is luxuriously large and the freestanding bath and double vanity plus dressing room are uncompromising. Add an office, ample storage and large separate laundry seldom found in an apartment, topped off with two car parks. Access to all main routes around the city is a huge benefit and Ponsonby Central is a 15 minute walk away. ...
