2B/138 St Stephens Avenue, Parnell, Auckland City, Auckland

In spectacular resort-like tropical grounds, this generous luxury apartment enjoys exceptional serenity and security.

Just one of nine in a boutique, solid and well-maintained complex, it sits at the quiet end of Parnell's most prestigious St Stephens Avenue.

With three large bedrooms, a fitted office and two and a half bathrooms, it is undoubtedly substantial. However, the voluminous dimensions of the open plan living area feel all the more grand, thanks to a high stud and huge picture windows on three aspects.

The living room basks in warm northerly light, capturing glorious sunsets, views of the Sky Tower, the Harbour Bridge and the port. External sliding shutters shade the sun when required and air conditioning throughout ensures perfect temperatures all year round.

A sheltered terrace off the living area and the master bedroom offers a sunny outdoor spot to sit or entertain, overlooking the sparkling pool and spa. Two bedrooms with Juliette balconies share a family bathroom while the large master suite includes a walk-in dressing room plus ensuite. There's excellent storage in the full-sized laundry plus a guest bathroom.

Expansive gardens around the apartment further emphasise that sense of unlimited space, making it feel more like a freestanding residence. For although this pet-friendly escape is away from the bustle, it is also incredibly handy to Parnell village, the waterfront and the CBD. With two-car secure basement garaging and a storage locker, the DGZ apartment offers 'the best of both worlds'.

Indulge in a world-class resort lifestyle every day.
