The mustard corner pops even more when contrasting with an all-white kitchen and kitchen island with plenty of storage, set off by the collectable Louis Poulson Artichoke light fixture.
The owners have renovated the townhouse in 2015 and installed a brand new kitchen.
An open-space kitchen opens up to a huge outdoor deck with a garden and a high fence which provides privacy while being out in a fresh air, which is if rare in the city.
The first floor which is made of engineered oak, has two living rooms, one with a large Escea fireplace that heats the whole house.
The 230 sq m townhouse also has a double-car garage and a lofty office, providing opportunity to work from home.
The owners’ attention to detail and love for art is seen in a choice of art pieces throughout the house, designer appliances and light fixtures in the kitchen and bedroom.
Instead of cluttering the space with hanging fittings in the hallway the pair have installed LED light strips which visually split the ceiling.
The top floor has a spacious bedroom which opens to a balcony and has an en suite and a walk-in wardrobe.
Dramatic red Florence Broadhurst paper wall makes the master bedroom pop.
On the other corner of the top floor there’s a second bedroom overlooking Greys Avenue and has a separate bathroom.
The bottom floor, has a 13 sq m space, which is currently used as an office, has an en-suite and can be turned into a third bedroom or a library.
Sotherby’s agent marketing the property Lesley McLellan says the townhouse is a “gorgeous apartment alternative” in the heart of Auckland city.
It’s sophisticated European astonishing design and central location overlooking Myers Park make the town house a one-off.
“Its back is turned to the city so you don’t get the drunken antics, yet you are so close to the cultural side of Auckland,” McLellan says.
The townhouse, which is sold by an auction on December 4, is one of five in the complex with owners occupying all the units.
