401/2a Raurenga Avenue Royal Oak, Auckland City

If you've been waiting for something special, this could be it.

Arguably the finest apartment in The Seddon, a tightly held boutique development of just 13 luxury apartments, this impressive top-floor penthouse combines the proportions of a substantial home with the security, privacy and convenience of apartment living - all on a single level.

Offering approximately 146sqm of internal living plus approximately 27sqm of covered outdoor living, the scale is immediately apparent. Three genuine double bedrooms, a separate study, two bathrooms and expansive open-plan living make this a rare find in such a sought-after central Auckland location.

The heart of the apartment is the exceptionally spacious kitchen, dining and living area, opening directly to a large covered deck. The master suite also enjoys direct access to this deck, creating a superb connection between the bedroom, living spaces and outdoors.

On the other side of the apartment, the two additional double bedrooms enjoy access to a second separate covered deck, providing excellent separation and outdoor living on both sides of the home.

AND THEN THERE ARE THE VIEWS!

From its elevated penthouse position, the outlook stretches south towards the Bombay Hills, with a view to the Manukau Harbour.

Five skylights bring additional natural light into the apartment, enhancing the already impressive sense of space and giving the home a wonderfully light and airy feel.

The master suite is generous, with its own ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and direct deck access. Bedrooms two and three are both genuine doubles and are serviced by the family bathroom with a bathtub, while the separate study provides an ideal work-from-home space without sacrificing a bedroom.

Comfort and quiet have also been carefully considered. The apartment is double-glazed with laminated glass throughout, providing excellent acoustic insulation and helping create a remarkably peaceful interior.

CORNWALL PARK & ONE TREE HILL - ALMOST ON YOUR DOORSTEP!

One of the great attractions of living at The Seddon is having Cornwall Park and Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill Domain virtually at the end of the street.

From the apartment, it's approximately a 2-minute walk to the nearest pedestrian entrance, giving you easy access to one of Auckland's most magnificent green spaces.

Cornwall Park and adjoining One Tree Hill Domain together provide more than 200 hectares of parkland - an extraordinary backyard for walking, running, cycling or simply getting away from the city without having to get in the car.

Wander beneath mature trees and along the park's extensive network of paths, through open paddocks where sheep and cattle still graze, or continue through to Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill and walk to the summit for some of Auckland's most spectacular panoramic views.

There's also the Cornwall Park cafe, children's playground, Stardome Observatory and kilometres of walking routes to explore.

And remarkably, all of this is just a couple of minutes' walk from your front door.

Royal Oak Mall, local cafes, restaurants, boutique shopping and Greenwoods Medical Centre are also close at hand, while the central location provides easy access across Auckland.

Zoned for the popular Royal Oak Primary School, the location is every bit as impressive as the apartment itself.

Three-bedroom apartments of this size are hard to find. Top-floor penthouses offering two separate outdoor living areas, two side-by-side car parks, two lock-up storage cupboards and expansive views towards the Bombays and Manukau Harbour are rarer still.

For buyers wanting to downsize the maintenance without downsizing their lifestyle - or simply secure an exceptional apartment in one of Royal Oak's most desirable positions - Penthouse 401 at The Seddon demands your attention.
