24 Georgina Street, Freemans Bay, Auckland City, Auckland

Experience the best of cosmopolitan living in a gorgeous traditional bay front villa, combining an unrivalled urban location with unbridled style and serenity.

Occupying a coveted corner site walking distance from Ponsonby Road’s world class cafes, restaurants and nightlife in one direction and Victoria Park and Wynyard Quarter’s shopping in the other, this two bedroom haven represents the best of all worlds.

The residence has fabulous street appeal and is packed with lovingly restored character elements alongside modern essentials. A high stud leads you inside, with two generous double bedrooms lying to one side of the entrance hall that are freshly painted and flooded with light. One comes with French doors opening out to the sweet front garden, the other with great storage thanks to built-in wardrobing with custom shelving. They share an immaculate modern bathroom, with laundry cleverly concealed behind double doors.

Open plan living and dining boasts beautifully maintained original kauri floors with bespoke shutters allowing light to gently filter in. A woodburner is perfect for setting the scene during the cooler months, while a heat pump ensures comfort year round. An elegantly appointed contemporary kitchen will impress those who love to entertain, and continue the fun as you step out to private north facing decking with a soundtrack of native birdsong thanks to nearby Costley Reserve.

A spacious, sheltered courtyard is ready for its glow up, while access to the extensive basement spaces ensure plenty of storage or, with the help of an architect, could be utilised to extend the home’s footprint.

With a secure off-street park, this is the perfect alternative to a Ponsonby townhouse or city apartment. Being so close to the CBD, entry level character residences like this are rare – don’t miss your ticket to central living in style.
