10C/8 Howe Street, Freemans Bay, Auckland City

Exceptional elevated views and a sunny northeasterly orientation grace this 10th floor apartment in tightly held Highgate Towers.

This is the first time it's been offered for sale in 27 years as it offers an easy central Auckland lifestyle that's hard to farewell.

It's position high on the ridge between Ponsonby and Karangahape Road delivers a magnificent outlook stretching from the harbour and vibrant neighbourhood greenery, past the twinkling city skyline and around to the bustle of vibrant K'Rd. Watch the sun go down from its good sized balcony, which is expansive enough for proper outdoor dining. Or curl up inside its open-plan kitchen-living-dining room which is consistent with the tidy condition throughout this residence.

Rather than opening directly from its open-plan living space, the two sizeable bedrooms feed off a hallway, creating an appealing sense of separation. Blessed with beautiful natural light these bedrooms include the master with walk-through-wardrobe accessing its ensuite. The other, with an expansive wardrobing, is served by the main bathroom-laundry harbouring the luxury of a bath.

This apartment comes with two separate basement car parks plus a storage locker.

Highgate Towers has been perpetually desirable thanks to its reputation as a well-run, well maintained and secure complex with a welcoming entry lobby and a live-in building manager. An enticing heated swimming pool, well-equipped gym with showers and sauna and nine dedicated visitor parks substantiate its appeal.

Our instructions are clear; this appealing apartment is now superfluous to its owner's needs.
