Buy the artwork, get a house! Cool doesn't even begin to describe this very carefully considered renovation of a classic villa, with it's own art installation. In the architect designed living and kitchen space the walls slide away, opening up the heart of the home to the subtropical garden (with stunning night lighting) and the commissioned artwork by the Cut Collective Auckland's most credible street artists. Slide on down the hall to the three bedrooms, all with stylish sliding doors, creating space and ease of movement. Unique touches such as the sunken Japanese bath in the ultra contemporary bathroom and some amazing light fittings, make this home a must to view - even if it's just to see how cool one house can be. (Or you could just check out the 10-page spread in the latest Fashion Quarterly Entertaining). Storage, so often overlooked in villas, has been considered too, with plenty of room in the attic space and built in wardrobes in two of the bedrooms. And yes, being #12 means it's at the Ponsonby Road end of O'Neill St, just a short shuffle to Nosh, or a few feet further to all that Ponsonby is famous for. If you want a piece of art that people will talk about this is it. (And you can live in it too)!
