910/8 Hereford Street, Freemans Bay, Auckland City, Auckland

There are apartments, and then there are city homes - places shaped as much by feeling as by form. This luxury apartment belongs firmly to the latter. Set on the coveted north side, it holds the perfect elevation: high enough for views and sunlight, yet low enough to feel connected with its garden, neighbourhood, and the rhythm of everyday living. From the moment you enter, the tone is unmistakable. Soft textures, warm timbers, natural stone and bespoke detailing create a sense of calm, while 2.7m ceiling heights and full glazing draw the outdoors inward. Every room is beautifully considered - refined with thoughtful design. At the heart of the home is an exceptional Gaggenau kitchen with scullery, where marble surfaces, specialist finishes and lighting create a centrepiece for cooking and gathering. Adjacent living and dining areas open seamlessly to the outdoor world — a transition that dissolves the boundary between interior and garden. Spread across approximately 132 sqm, this outdoor haven is unlike anything else in the city. Wide-board timber decking, a motorized louvred roof with blinds, flowered garden planting, and beautifully formed zones create a genuine green sanctuary - perfect for pets, morning rituals, weekend entertaining, or simply stretching out in the sun. North-facing, it captures daylight from dawn to dusk and frames views across the inner city to the Waitemata. Two serene bedroom suites - the master suite enjoys a walk-in dressing room with custom joinery, sheers, and hotel-style lighting, while the second bedroom is equally refined with beautiful tailored storage. A dedicated office, separate laundry (with Blum electric lift systems), and Control4-integrated audio underscore the home’s liveability. Two carparks plus storage. This is an elevated lifestyle not just by the apartment itself, but by the building. Residents enjoy access to a large, state-of-the-art gym, a media lounge / billiards room, and a sunlit lap pool overlooking the city. Outside the door: Ponsonby Road and the CBD are both an easy stroll away, with cafés, dining, galleries, and boutique retail at your fingertips. This is a place where design, light, privacy, and nature converge to create a home that simply feels good to be in. One of the best. Auction 12 February unless sold prior.
