Some addresses have a presence of their own. They are recognised for their setting, their outlook and the particular lifestyle they offer. Hanene Street is one of those Auckland addresses.

Positioned on the penthouse level, 5/6 Hanene Street presents an opportunity to enjoy apartment living on a rather different scale. With just six residences in the building, there is a sense of privacy and exclusivity, complemented by generous proportions, multiple living spaces and an outlook that is difficult to overlook.

The views are an integral part of the experience. A wide northerly aspect welcomes the morning light and enjoys sunshine throughout the day. From the first light of dawn, through the changing colours across the water, to the evening lights around the bay, the outlook is constantly evolving. Moonlit nights bring their own particular magic.

Inside, the scale and arrangement of the living spaces provide considerable flexibility. There is room to entertain, somewhere to retreat with a good book and, just as importantly, space to enjoy everyday life without compromise. The sheltered deck extends the living environment outdoors, providing a comfortable setting to sit back and take in the surroundings.

The accommodation is equally well considered, with two generous double bedrooms, including a substantial master suite, complemented by a newly renovated family bathroom and modern kitchen. Double garage parking and additional storage add a practical dimension that is increasingly difficult to find.

For those who appreciate art, the generous wall spaces provide an opportunity to display a collection properly. And for visiting family, particularly the grandchildren, the swimming pool is a welcome addition.

At this level of the market, it is often the combination of things that matters most. The address, the outlook, the proportions and the privacy all contribute to a living environment that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.
