9 Bayard Street, Ponsonby, Auckland City, Auckland

Hoxha Bailey Architects redefine ridgeline living with this exceptional four-bedroom sanctuary-a masterclass in contemporary design, perched on Ponsonby's coveted northern escarpment.

Rarely does a new build capture both architectural pedigree and lifestyle perfection with such precision. Designed by the acclaimed Hoxha Bailey Architects, this 218 sqm residence is a study in light, context, and elevated living. Breathtaking 4.0-metre ceiling heights and northwest-facing orientation frame Waitakere sunsets while flooding interiors with natural warmth. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen zone flows seamlessly to a private entertainer's courtyard and pool, with a walk-in pantry and premium finishes throughout.

Entry from the street delivers you into a thoughtfully designed space with wine storage, garage access, and powder room. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms offer retreat and flexibility. The main bedroom captures stunning Waitakere views with glimpses of the upper harbour, complemented by a fully tiled ensuite and walk-in robe. Three additional bedrooms accessed from the central landing provide ample space, with privacy maintained through timber shutters. Impressive ceiling heights throughout create an airy sense of volume. Practical luxury includes a secure garage, internal laundry, and additional off-street parking-genuine rarities for this inner-city location.

Set on Ponsonby's northern ridge, the Three Lamps precinct and Ponsonby Road's energy are moments away. Connectivity is effortless via College Hill, Franklin Road, and motorway links. Western Park, Point Erin Pools, Cox's Bay Reserve, and Herne Bay Beach provide waterfront amenity rarely found at such a central address. Zoned for Freemans Bay School, Ponsonby Intermediate, and Auckland Girls' Grammar. The upcoming Pompallier on Ponsonby development will further elevate the precinct, enhancing both lifestyle and long-term value.
