33 Gwilliam Place, Freemans Bay, Auckland, 1011, New Zealand
This smart 1970’s terrace house, positioned centrally between Ponsonby Road and the city, is for sale for the first time in 40 years. The freehold three-bedroom, two-level home is the perfect contemporary sanctuary for an inner city dweller who appreciates architectural style, space and convenience. As part of a peaceful, leafy enclave that is interwoven with private parkland (Grattan Square Residents Association), the development is testament to the ability of forward thinking and innovative urban design to create something timeless and special. It’s easy to see why they have always been so sought-after by a broad set of buyers. Well-constructed of solid block with tiled roofs, these good looking homes in a quiet no-exit street have spacious light-filled living areas and well-conceived floor plans. Opening to two separate outdoor living spaces on both sides, there’s a fully fenced courtyard that catches morning sun and a gorgeous deck accessed from the revamped kitchen and a breakfast nook/office bathed in afternoon sun. A gate takes you straight into the shared park so you can walk the dog in safety or be at the local Freemans Bay School within minutes. There are two bathrooms, one on each floor. The bedrooms upstairs all have good storage and lovely urban views.
