211/38 Khyber Pass Road, Grafton, Auckland City, Auckland

These two storied Cheshire designed Apartments were inspired by Le Corbusier's Modernist development that he did in Marseille in the 1960's.

The owner has used her love of Mid Century design to create a very European interior. Elegant pieces are beautifully placed in this clever pied a terre.

You enter from the upper floor where the master bedroom and bathroom are situated. Down an easy flight of stairs is kitchen, dining, living and a second bathroom and a bedroom currently used as a TV room.

The home overlooks the SKHY luxuriantly planted checkerboard courtyard that was designed by Britomart's garden designer, Damian Wendelborn.

This is a really safe, snug and secure town house of 88 sq m (approx.), including deck.

'Uptown' is minutes from motorways going North and South and in the heart of the Mt Eden City Rail Link planned to open in 2026. The value of this apartment will then increase with this facility. You are just delicious steps from Syd's French Cafe, Lillius and so many other eateries. SKHY is a brisk healthy walk to the Auckland Hospital and Medical School and of course Auckland University.

In 2020 NZ Institute of Architects chose SKHY and announced Cheshire Architects and Lamont and Co as winners for their clever example of urban acupuncture for this Multi Unit Housing development.

A garage with internal access is included in the sale price.

The owners have loved living here at SKHY, but retiring to their Pauanui home is now very appealing.

You might call it a pied a terre, a lock and leave or simply your next home, regardless, be prepared to be charmed!
