With a sophisticated aesthetic to rival the lofts of New York City, this immaculately presented artist's retreat offers rustic romance seldom seen in Auckland's apartments.

This large one bedroom, one bathroom on Hobson Street is a fresh take on traditional abodes and is certainly unique.

Positioned on the east side of a boutique building at the edge of the city and the gateway to the vibrant Victoria Park precinct, style is evident from the moment you enter its doors.

Boasting soaring high-stud ceilings constructed of treasured native Kauri, large living areas with exposed brickwork and polished timber flooring. Huge sash windows offer an old-time elegance while tasteful additions and modern conveniences ensure this is a home for the discerning.

A free-flowing floorplan beneath the mezzanine bedroom creates a warm and convivial atmosphere with a centrally located full-service kitchen and workspaces in either direction allowing easy meal preparation while entertaining.

Stylish lighting and clever storage features including timber-framed glass cabinetry ensure every aspect of this home offers depth, doing double duty as a textural artwork in itself.

A large bathroom with fresh white tiling and a shower/bath is positioned next to the dedicated laundry closet, while the private bedroom above purveys an intimate atmosphere.

Providing warmth and inspiration throughout the seasons, this designer abode occupies a preferable position nestled between the bustle of the CBD, dynamic K'Road precinct and upscale Ponsonby.

New light rail nearby is set to add value, while motorway links and bus routes in all directions get you efficiently from A to B.

Providing timeless aesthetic appeal that's proven perennially popular with house hunters seeking style beyond the traditional Scandi-template, Hobson Lofts presents a value-added asset that blends quality construction with old-time elegance, a rare find in today's marketplace.
