Deco charm, contemporary living

Built in the late 1930s, these Art Deco apartments have been beautifully renovated to provide every comfort of contemporary living while retaining a characteristic Deco feel thanks to their solid double-brick construction and stained-glass windows.<br/><br/>Presented to market are two separate apartments, occupying the respective ground and upper floors of a larger two-unit building. The apartments are identical in floor plan and appliance fit out, and for sale either separately or as a single property combining both levels.<br/><br/>Accommodation for each includes two generous and light-filled bedrooms both with walk-in robes. Located across the hallway is a discreet and up-to-date laundry that includes a Fisher & Paykel washing machine and Simpson dryer. Adjacent is an elegant bathroom with walk-in glass shower, tiled interior, vanity, bathtub and separate toilet. <br/><br/>The light-filled foyer features a superb stained-glass lead light that delights upon entering each home. On 2b is a secure rooftop terrace that makes for a perfect spot to entertain al-fresco in the sunshine.<br/><br/>Towards the north end of the each apartment is a living room which enjoys an abundance of warmth and natural light owing to their modern open-plan layout and double-glazed windows that feature throughout each home. The space features a Daikin heat pump ensuring year-round comfort, original double brick fireplace and multiple west-facing windows that beautifully frame the view of Mount Wellington.<br/><br/>The culinary space boasts solid stone countertops and premium appliances: Belling stove oven and range hood, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Gorenje refrigerator as well as ample overhead storage. A modern dining room flows between the kitchen and living spaces and offers access to a sun-soaked verandah on 2b's upper level and a rear courtyard at ground level for 2a.<br/><br/>Art Deco apartments such as these are highly-desirable as a home for young professionals, small families and investors alike.
