Boats bob gently in the harbor just below this sleek apartment in one of Auckland’s newest, glossiest neighborhoods. Double balconies showcase the views, mirrored finishes reflect the light bouncing off the water, and the building itself sits on reclaimed land that’s now buzzing with restaurants and a theater. Walk to the ferry terminal for a dolphin-spotting tour or cross to vineyards in Waiheke.

Listen to the hum of the city and watch the sunset from the 2 balconies that frame the apartment, each with an alfresco sitting area and a table the perfect size for a cup of coffee or charcuterie board.

Designer fixtures from around the world give the apartment’s open-plan great room sophisticated cred. There’s European hardware, Italian fittings, and German appliances—and that’s just in the fully equipped kitchen. Bistro-style seating adds French flair to the dining area, and a partial wall separates the living area from a family room that’s a cozy spot to read or watch TV.

The apartment is in the heart of Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter, a hub of seasonal festivals, public art, and a range of eateries serving up everything from juice to coffee, pizza to sushi. Head out from the walking-distance ferry terminal to watch dolphins near the harbor or to cross to Waiheke for a winery tour. It’s a 15-minute walk to even more shopping and dining, plus public transit options, at Britomart.
