To enter through the gates of this iconic 1930's heritage complex 'Ascot', is to be transported to the heart of film noir L.A. The luscious tropical planting and the stucco Spanish Mission architecture lure you further in to a world of creative energy and vintage Hollywood charm, right in the heart of excellent school zones such as Auckland Grammar. In a highly popular location on the fringes of Ponsonby, Newmarket and the CBD, you could not hope for a more central position. On the upper level, accessed via a character stairwell, this deceptively spacious apartment provides alternative to the soulless shoeboxes proliferating around the city. High ceilings, Georgian 12 pane windows and original doors heighten the feeling of permanence. Contemporary throughout, you can enjoy it as it is, or refresh what you need for truly chic city living. The living room has double doors leading to a second bedroom or perhaps a study or formal dining space for those with a pied-a-terre lifestyle, the master is flooded with light and generous in scale. With an allocated car park, you can leave the vehicle at home while you enjoy the convenience of transport, amenities and the local surrounds with a distinct community vibe.

Launch pad or crash pad? Without compromising on character or quirk, look no further than here - this property will sell and we would hate you to miss out. Inspect without delay.
