The Ponsonby Hall

Unique, uncompromising and world class, this exceptional three bedroom plus study home is reminiscent of a luxury Manhattan apartment, combining heritage charm with exquisite contemporary architectural design.

An iconic Ponsonby building originally built by the International Order of Odd Fellows and sold to the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes, extensive renovations and structural upgrades have transformed the grand brick hall into a magazine-worthy sanctuary mere steps from Ponsonby Road.

Resource consent has also been granted for a second stage of works, including a rooftop terrace.

Featured on the pages of design magazines, the layout was crafted to ensure easy family living with the option to cater to self-sufficient guests or AirBnB for extra income in the front rooms by simply closing the internal doors into the hall for privacy.

Redefining volume with its high stud, the double height social heart of the home delivers incredible entertaining, with the elegant high spec kitchen sitting at the heart.

Raw brick and elevated sash windows draped in elegance lend an air of sophistication, complemented by every modern amenity including a fully automated gas central heating system controlled via touchpad, double glazing, European oak timber floors, wool carpets by Nodi Rugs and ample storage.

Each spacious bedroom comes with custom wardrobing and a unique ensuite (plus a further full bathroom for guests) awash in exquisite modern styling. A retreat into calm for every room with immaculate marble and stone, bespoke vanities, underfloor heating and cohesive solid brass Japanese hardware giving a feeling of unity and harmonious vision throughout.

The primary suite is an elevated retreat, commanding the upper floor, a standalone haven filled with large walk in wardrobe and original restored solid kauri ceiling.

Perfectly positioned and impeccable in every way, this is a very special, grand and gracious contemporary heritage home on the doorstep to the best shopping and dining the city has to offer.
