635/35 Hobson Street, Auckland Central

This state-of-the-art residence is nestled within the historic 'Grand Tearooms', designed by American-born architect Roy Lippincott in the 1930s, atop the once-iconic Farmers Department Store. Under the guidance of Gaze Commercial Architecture, the current owners have meticulously preserved the original features, adhering to strict heritage conditions to protect and maintain the buildings integrity. The result is a stunning 540 sq m space where steel, brick, and glass elements blend seamlessly beneath an ornate Art Deco ceiling, creating an elegant environment. The apartment offers breathtaking views of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, the city skyline, and the Waitemata Harbour, all framed by the original floor-to-ceiling steel windows. These views provide a commanding presence over the city, making this a truly one-of-a-kind residence. The attention to detail is remarkable, with a bespoke kitchen, butlers pantry, and living spaces designed to fully utilise the height of the vaulted ceiling. A mezzanine level offers an intimate appreciation of the intricate ceiling and original ornamental light fixtures, while the main suite is both dramatic and serene. It features a private balcony and a luxurious bath with views of the sunrise. The property includes four car parks and access to the nearly 24/7 facilities of the Heritage Hotel, including two swimming pools, a gym, tennis court, and even room service. Whether for living, working, hosting events, or entertaining on a grand scale, this versatile space accommodates it all. We believe this property will attract discerning buyers familiar with loft-style conversions from the most prestigious cities - New York, London and Hong Kong, to name a few. No matter where you are in the world, we invite you to experience this elite property, either in person or via video call. While the days of Silver Service may have passed, an exceptional lifestyle still awaits. Auction 1 P.M Wednesday 25th September 2024 (unless sold prior) ...
