79 Sussex Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland City, Auckland

A masterstroke of design and location, this reimagined villa brings together timeless architecture and resort-style living just steps from Ponsonby Road. The result is an elevated urban sanctuary where luxury, privacy and effortless entertaining meet in perfect harmony.

Finished to the absolute perfection, the elegant residence was a collaboration between highly respected McIntosh Design and architect Jose Gutierrez, and crafted with a discerning client in mind.

From the gallery-height hallway, the home unfolds into a gabled, light-filled pavilion where walls of glass dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out. An entertainer’s kitchen, finished in marble with Gaggenau appliances and a fully appointed scullery, anchors expansive living and dining spaces that wrap around the north-facing lap pool. On one side, an alfresco lounge with suspended fireplace invites intimate gatherings, and on the other, lush palms and landscaped gardens create a private tropical backdrop.

The bedrooms are equally considered. The primary suite offers bespoke walk-in wardrobing, a marble-clad ensuite with dual vanities and direct access to the pool terrace. Two additional bedrooms and a chic family bathroom ensure flexibility, with a family room in place that can adapt to a fourth bedroom if needed.

Every detail speaks to the highest calibre - gas heating under Italian oak floors, central radiator heating, designer lighting and seamless indoor-outdoor flow at every turn. Secure internal garaging is complemented by off-street parking, with laundry and utility areas discretely positioned on the lower level.

This is a home that balances statement architecture with a lifestyle of ease mere moments from Ponsonby’s dining, boutiques and nightlife, yet cocooned in its own serene domain. An uncompromising address in one of Auckland’s most coveted postcodes.
