This sleek, multi-level terraced townhouse offers a retreat right in the vibrant heart of Ponsonby. Cleverly designed to balance social entertaining with private relaxation, the residence is spread across four distinct levels to maximise space and lifestyle flexibility. The journey begins on the basement level with a highly coveted secure single garage and a practical laundry area, an absolute premium for city-fringe living. Moving up to the first floor, the home transitions into a striking open-plan domain where the high-end kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together. This entire social hub is framed by two private patios, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection perfect for morning coffees or warm evening catch-ups.

The upper levels are dedicated entirely to peace and rest, cleverly separating the sleeping quarters from the lively main living zones. Across the top two floors, you will find four generous bedrooms and a sleek, contemporary shared bathroom layout. The main bedroom enjoys the added comfort of its own private ensuite and a flat-screen TV, while an additional bedroom on the third floor also boasts its own TV for cosy movie nights.
