Occupying a desirable position overlooking the lush grounds of Basque Park, this modern penthouse boasts an enviable blend - part parkside retreat, part connected city pad.

Straddling the border between Ponsonby, Newmarket and the CBD, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and tandem car parking are carefully configured to provide everything residents require and nothing they don't.

Elevated on the northwest corner, wraparound decking captures all-day sun, which streams through floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, illuminating airy living spaces.

Open-plan and easy movement between the kitchen, living and outdoors is superb for entertaining - think balmy summer evenings alfresco or home-cooked winter meals framed by the sparkling city lights.

Two bedrooms occupy a wing each, giving functional separation between a large master suite with walk-through wardrobe and private bathroom, and the functional second space - each with balcony access.

Architecturally designed and completed to the latest specifications with a palette of natural colours and raw materials, concrete, steel and stained cedar set an industrial tone that is easily maintained, with room to add flair.

Ideally located down a quiet cul-de-sac and several minutes' walk to rapid transit on New North Road, the locale is positioned to benefit from superb access to the forthcoming City Rail Link. This provides a multitude of options for the investor, while pet-friendly status and a coveted position on the doorstep of the city's most popular precincts offer an inimitable home base for owner-occupiers searching for a smart home and even more enjoyable lifestyle.
