11 Arthur Street Freemans Bay, Auckland City

Impeccable craftsmanship, natural light and serenity are the hallmarks of this iconic Freemans Bay home, designed and built in 1972 by its owner Russell Withers (Stanish and Withers Architects).

Fluid curved forms, generous proportions and an ever-changing interplay between light and space combine to create a warm and practical environment featuring detailed brickwork, bespoke leadlight windows, cedar, redwood and native timbers.

Step from the main living space, with its dramatic 4.2 metre high ceilings, into an intimate, cosy sunken lounge. From the dining area, bifold doors open to a spacious private garden and terraces, perfect for entertaining and featuring a unique mix of established natives including kauri, nikau, exotics and fruit trees.

The central level offers three bedrooms, each with balconies providing private and breath-taking views of the established garden, sky tower and cityscape. The top floor reveals a panorama stretching across Waitemata Harbour taking in Rangitoto Island and the Harbour Bridge.

This landmark property on Arthur Street transcends the conventional. It is a celebration of diversity, permanence and intentional living, breaking away from the traditional confines of its neighbours. A true rarity, this residence has been preserved in near-original form, providing a private oasis in close proximity to Ponsonby Road's cafes, restaurants and boutiques. 11 Arthur Street is a singular property combining comfort and craftsmanship and offering a superb lifestyle in one of Auckland's most desirable streets.
