The Ponsonby lifestyle is what many Aucklanders aspire to - a match made in heaven for young professionals, downsizers or anyone who simply values affordability in a special location within the inner-city suburbs. Easy layout, easy position, easy buying.

• The location says it all - from here you can walk to Ponsonby Road shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, or stroll to the Jervois Road village for even more culinary and cultural delights. From here, if you're working in the city, you are a short ride or drive away for the ultimate ease.

• The sensible layout makes the most of the space on hand - with a massive garage (for this part of the city) that not only fits a car but also plenty of other things that you may need to store. On the middle floor, the open plan living has access to a courtyard and a balcony, allowing for alfresco dining or entertaining, and the contemporary interior makes it comfortable and stylish.

• On the top floor, two double bedrooms offer some versatility if you are a couple and need a work-from-home space or have regular guests. A full size bathroom services the plan.

• The small block of homes is quite a tight-knit community of friends who are super proud of their little enclave and make sure everything is in place for all to enjoy living here

Make no mistake, this is the urban pad you have sought at the heart of it all - where the cafe lifestyle is at the forefront and easy living is assured. Excellent value, and ideal as an alternative to an apartment, your early viewing and offers are recommended.
