81a Vermont Street, Ponsonby, Auckland City, Auckland

No viewings available over Matariki long weekend.

These cement plaster system townhouses (often referred to as Stucco) were built in the late 1980s and designed by renowned architect Andrew Patterson. 81a is the largest townhouse in Grace Square and has been meticulously maintained. Perfect for downsizers or a handy lock and leave.

A brief walk around the Square with its gorgeous central garden will confirm why this is such a desirable location. The townhouses are highly sought after due to their "sweet spot" location in the heart of Ponsonby. But they are tightly held with some owners having purchased off the plans back in the 80s.

And then there's the highly coveted double garage a hugely desirable and valuable feature. So many nearby homes don't have them. A great asset for extra storage, vehicle security and electric car charging if required.

You'll love 81a's spacious living area opening to a sunny west facing courtyard. A cook's kitchen with Bosch appliances is foody heaven and the adjoining dining room is a wonderful entertaining space with its elegant built-in custom display cabinet. A separate laundry and guest powder room add extra appeal. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms with a master ensuite and generous sized second bathroom. A bonus is the upstairs ventilation system for greater comfort whilst downstairs a heat pump keeps the house at the temperature you want.
