Straight out of a romantic movie, this spacious (178m²) character penthouse apartment at Maisons en Ville circa 1936, is a rare and beautiful secret. Stepping from the lift into the entry foyer feels like you've arrived in the heart of Paris. But this achingly sublime hideaway is an easy walk to Britomart, the ferry building, waterfront and CBD. Voluminous, airy interiors featuring painted concrete floors exude a sophisticated industrial chic, bathed in a soft wash of light filtered through skylights. 12 sets of tall French doors throughout open up spaces for an easy flow. Easily accommodating very large items of furniture, the expansive living area eases into a loggia encompassing a dining space and sitting nook with balcony where you can leave the doors open and enjoy the views and sea breezes. Two massive bedrooms plus a smaller third bedroom, currently used as an artist's studio. A high quality modern kitchen is well-equipped for entertainers with customised storage solutions behind a marble island. Enjoy the ease of a truly special home with a peep of the sea as a bonus! Freehold.
