This large Heritage apartment has polished floors throughout, original native Kauri wood exposed beams and trusses with timber sarking on the ceiling, and exposed brick over 2 floors. With an artistic arched window that lets light flood in, the generous 83sqm has way more space than a shoebox apartment, and so much more character. Featuring a large bedroom downstairs with ensuite bathroom, walk in wardrobe, study and 2nd bedroom (a door separates this sleeping area from the main bedroom, with separate access to the bathroom). Upstairs there's a spacious open plan lounge/ dining/ kitchen area with a second w/c, and finally a handy secure car park in the basement of the building.
All this is located in the historic 'Carlisle', a unique central Heritage building converted into apartments by Andrew Krukziener of Patterson architects in the 1990s, but retaining plenty of its period character. Council records suggest the original warehouse was built in 1912 but we have photos from 1904-1906 that show the building already standing proud. Fashioned in an era when quality and craftsmanship were paramount, structural assessments are good, with a poetic aesthetic stands out amongst its modern counterparts.
Instantly recognizable as chic living in the city, this apartment could work double duty as a high-powered rental asset, yielding an excellent potential income as short-term accommodation or equally in-demand amongst professionals seeking a long-term home in the city.

Revenue from Airbnb has been in excess of $50,000 pa for several years.
Tightly held by a discerning group of mostly owner-occupiers, heritage value here is priceless, providing an exceptional opportunity to own a slice of the city's history whilst using location, style, and size to your urban lifestyle advantage. The building has a pro-active Body Corporate of which I have been chairperson the last few years. There is a great community vibe in the area - see https://www.acommunity.nz/ - with a major Street and area upgrade scheduled for 2026 (plans available).
We are selling with regret, as we have two apartments in this building, and it's becoming a bit much to manage. We are keeping the second apartment as we love the building and the area.
Features and amenities include: a full kitchen with gas stove-top cooking, electric oven and loads of storage space. The apartment has electric water heating and gas heating. As well as the parking space there is additional space also in the storage unit in the secure underground area.
Rates 2024/2025 $2,031.43
Body Corp $9,574.76 pa (payable in two installments)
