Born in 1910, an edgy juxtaposition of urban industrial functionality with the charm of a character villa, this is not your everyday offering. Zoned Business Mixed Use, north facing on freehold land and perfectly positioned among already established creative neighbours, this redefined "apartment" and separate commercial space offers a multitude of options.

Live in the spacious upstairs three bedroom "apartment" and work downstairs in the equally generous commercial space, lease the working space or perhaps just land-bank and lease the lot. Then you can bide your time to capitalise and develop a multi storey apartment block (subject to consent).

Set back from the street, privacy is further enhanced by a clever mix of planting and stainless steel meshing. Up the stairs, the well protected north facing deck, opens into a spacious, light filled, New York style loft home. The open plan living, with soaring stud, incorporates a servery style kitchen making entertaining or family meals easy. All three bedrooms (or offices) are good sized and one is quite simply massive.

Downstairs, but still elevated above the road, is the completely separate commercial opportunity with kitchenette and bathroom. Parking isn't a problem as there's three off street parks.

Your morning coffee is four doors down, Richmond Road Primary a few steps beyond and Ponsonby Intermediate just a little further. The Ponsonby Road vibe with its many cafes, restaurants and boutique shops is an easy walk, not a drive.

With this many choices, purchase today knowing the future is whatever you choose to make it. Call to view 021 225 5988 CV $1,825,000
