An open plan dining and living space is large and airy with quality furnishings and a simple colour palette including lots of white.
The balcony is an ideal place for a morning coffee or an evening wine and there’s always something going on, day and night.
Meanwhile, the one-bedroom apartment also has a smart bathroom and a modern kitchen that could be further updated, plus loads of living space and its own balcony.
With Auckland’s CBD now home to a multi-cultural 40,000 residents including a surprising number of young families, the amenities on offer have improved enormously.

47 Hobson Street is close to a plethora of cafes, takeaways and excellent restaurants – plus upmarket shopping can be found at nearby Commercial Bay, glitzy Britomart and of course, Wynyard Quarter is just around the corner.
The area is well served by several supermarkets and Victoria Park is handy for a pleasant walk while Les Mills Gym is also in the immediate neighbourhood, as is Tepid Baths Pool and Leisure Centre.
Public transport options are numerous, and the combined property comes with three carparks and two storage units.
Agent Krister Samuel, from Ray White City Apartments, says there are many ways this property could be used, including the current scenario where the one-bedroom apartment is rented out providing $750 weekly income, which more than covers body corporation fees and rates.

Samuel and colleague Dusan Valenta are marketing this property.
“The current owners have been there for a number of years and they have adapted the configuration a few times to fit in with their changing needs.”
Samuel suggests that the one-bedroom unit would be ideal for teenagers, an au pair or elderly relatives.
“And if a new owner wished to change the property back to being two separate units again, the cost will be minimal, somewhere between $30,000 and $40,000.”
1103/1104 47 Hobson Street in Auckland city has a deadline sale of November 3.
