There are renovations and there are renovations.
And the townhouse at 46 Scarborough Terrace, in Auckland's Parnell, shows what you can achieve when the property you're updating is already an award-winner.
The 274sq m three bedroom luxury home, which is on the market with a set sale date of September 26, was designed by Cook, Hitchcock & Sargisson Architects and won the NZIA award for best multi-unit housing, but it has recently undergone a major upgrade.
Scarborough Terrace designer Marshall Cook says what's special about the townhouses in the block is their flexibility.

“It’s set up so we can break off an independent unit above the garage so that people with kids in university could live in that separate unit. It was built to suit any type of family,” Cook says.
As soon as you walk in through the panelled entry the place leaves a striking impression with French oak flooring and glass balustrading leading to the entertainment area. Its designer kitchen features a wine cellar, a lit-up kitchen island and opens to the integrated dining area.
The French doors open-up the lounge area into courtyard with heated tiles to a media room which can be used as an office.
The master suite is located on the entrance level and two bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor, ensuring privacy if you have guest staying. One the guest suite also has a private access to a roof-top terrace.
The owner would also have access to one the six shared 2418sq m car park grounds off-street carparks available outside the gate.
Tenants will also have a double garage to themselves with plenty of storage.
