AI summary
For the first time in 30 years, the historic Queen's Hall in Freemans Bay is on the market. Designed in 1905 by renowned architect Alexander Wiseman, this unique conversion has been lovingly restored by its long-term owner.
The extraordinary property features:
- Exposed triple-brick walls
- A 7.62m high ceiling
- The original stage and a serpentine gallery converted into a mezzanine bedroom
This rare opportunity to own a piece of Auckland's history is listed with Bayleys Ponsonby.
The ceiling soars more than 7m in the ground-floor living area. New doors (left) open to a narrow strip of land landscaped with palms. The floor was slightly elevated long ago, but the edge of the low stage can be seen at the bottom of the stairs (one of four stairs in the building).
There’s no denying the visual impact of entering this space on the second floor. The bifolds open to spectacular views of the city skyline.
Natural light floods the family living area throughout the day.
The space is open to a casual dining area and kitchen.
There’s a traditional European influence evident in the kitchen.
The serpentine balcony is original - the front doors to the house can be seen on the lower level.
When the owner moved in, this space was divided into separate rooms. She has opened it all up again to create a guest room.
