14 Franklin Road, Freemans Bay, Auckland, 1011, New Zealand

Enlightened and versatile urban living is epitomised in this classic Franklin Road three (or four) bedroom haven plus additional fully self-contained one bedroom garden studio.

Positioned up and away from the street and exuding impeccable appeal, venture beyond the pristine frontage and into a warm and stylish interior that deftly harmonises traditional charm with exquisite modern comforts.

Contemporary style takes over the open plan rear where the entire domain is drenched in sun from the triple sets of French doors extending the space out to an expansive elevated deck. With its north-facing aspect, tranquil setting and peep of the harbour, this will be a favourite spot for entertaining. The kitchen is immaculately appointed and ready for the family chef to create culinary magic, while the second lounge makes the ideal media room for quiet nights in.

Three (or four) double bedrooms occupy the front portion of the home, one with its own access to the front verandah and ensuite, whilst the other two bedrooms are serviced by a striking tiled bathroom and separate toilet.

The garden studio is also stylishly-designed, featuring a bedroom with pristine ensuite, as well as an open plan living zone with sleek monochrome kitchen, heat pump and an alfresco terrace. The perfect work from home office, guest accommodation or added income earner, the options for this flexible space are numerous.

Completed with 2 off street parks, leave the car at home and wander the three minutes to the beating heart of Ponsonby Road or stroll down to Wynyard Quarter – the best of the city is at your doorstep from this unrivalled position. Those searching for a chic lock and leave with options will not want to miss this.
