305/38 Khyber Pass Road, Grafton, Auckland City, Auckland

The last one-bedroom in SKHY Terrace came to market back in August 2024. Now, with just a single one-bedroom currently available in both Grafton and Eden Terrace on Trade Me, this is a rare chance to secure your place in the acclaimed SKHY 2 Apartment Complex – winner of the 2020 New Zealand Institute of Architects Auckland Award for Multi-Unit Housing.

Positioned on the third floor (fourth level up), this west-facing apartment combines privacy, light, and generous proportions. A 9 sq m outdoor terrace seamlessly extends the living space, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors inviting natural light and leafy outlooks. Whether it’s a potted herb garden or a place to unwind with a glass of wine, this deck becomes your personal retreat.

Inside, the industrial aesthetic of exposed concrete beams is balanced with a warm, natural palette of materials and finishes. The result is a stylish yet welcoming interior, perfect as a first home, a pied-à-terre, or a city bolt-hole.

This apartment also comes with a secure car park, a storage locker, and a very reasonable Body Corporate fee of $4,886.77 per annum.

SKHY is known for its carefully curated community of owner-occupiers, many of whom have been drawn to the vision of Cheshire Architects and Pip Cheshire’s “Urban Acupuncture” approach. At the heart of the precinct lies a leafy, landscaped courtyard designed by Damien Wendelbourne, which provides a tranquil retreat. It is a pet-friendly environment, with Glenside Reserve just around the corner where dog owners gather.

Perched on the city ridgeline, the location is second to none. Auckland Hospital, the University, the Medical School, public transport, and motorway links are all within easy reach, and the soon-to-open City Rail Link will make it even more convenient. The precinct is also surrounded by some of Auckland’s most acclaimed eateries including Lillius, Sid at The French Café, Kazuya, Burger Geek and Fluff, meaning your kitchen may see less use than expected.

With SKHY’s thoughtful design, enduring materials, and emphasis on community, apartments here are tightly held and rarely offered. Whether you’re splitting time between city and coast, or looking for a vibrant yet peaceful place to call home, this apartment is a perfect solution.

Photos tell part of the story – but SKHY must be experienced. See it, feel it, love it, buy it.
