9/3 Akiraho Street Mount Eden, Auckland City

Perfectly positioned on Auckland's city fringe, this former 1940s shoe factory has become something genuinely hard to find. A three-bedroom loft apartment that evokes the industrial character of a New York warehouse conversion while offering all the comfort and warmth of a contemporary, chic interior.

Industrial character sets the tone from the outset. Soaring stud heights, exposed steel beams, concrete walls, polished concrete floors and oversized steel-framed windows create a dramatic architectural backdrop, with the integrity of the original building carefully preserved.

The two-level loft design introduces a sense of volume and separation rarely found in apartment living. Layers of colour, vintage finds and carefully curated details deliver both warmth and personality, creating a home where old-school cool meets refined elegance.

The open-plan living area unfolds beneath lofty proportions, creating a space designed for both connection and creativity. Whether entertaining friends, working from home or enjoying a slow Sunday morning with coffee and records spinning, the atmosphere is relaxed, expressive and effortlessly stylish.

Situated in one of Auckland's most connected city fringe locations, this distinctive apartment places Mt Eden Village, Newmarket, Ponsonby and the CBD within easy reach, while still retaining a sense of home among the leafy suburbs.

Anchored within the coveted Triple Grammar Zone of Auckland Grammar, Epsom Girls' Grammar and Mt Albert Grammar, and just a two-minute walk from the new Maungawhau/Mt Eden CRL Station, the address delivers exceptional convenience alongside an enviable urban lifestyle.

Spanning a generous 127sqm and among the largest residences in the building, the apartment offers three spacious bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms and two secure car parks.

Ground floor living with no stairs and no lift required.

Bold, soulful and confident. A building whose character is established, whose history is worn with pride, and whose next chapter belongs to whoever calls it home.
