2/128 Newton Road Newton, Auckland City

The best news has just arrived for owners and wannabe owners of character apartment buildings.
The sword of Damocles that has hung over these properties since changes to the National Building Standards NBS in 2017 could well be a thing of the past. Common sense has prevailed and the government has announced that Auckland will be off the map for earthquake strengthening due to its low seismic risk. The proposal bill once introduced and passed will mean that earthquake strengthening costs and associated costs are off the table for Auckland. 2026 is the most likely period for the changes to be implemented if all goes to plan

This is a massive plus for those who want to buy a character apartment in a beautiful complex like The Ascot. Built in 1930, this lovely lady is coming up to her centenary. Maybe the vendor's penchant for old world charms explains why he fell in love with this charming apartment which was first his bachelor pad and more recently a rental.

On offer, is one of the best. A huge two bedroom of 83 square meters of character filled design. Soaring ceilings, double hung sash windows, timber floors and a fireplace. Massive queen/king sized bedrooms with built in wardrobes. Recently renovated with new wiring, dimmer controlled modern lighting and a beautiful remodeled galley kitchen.

Set in tranquil gardens, it's a wonderfully quiet and cozy apartment inside to suit the homebody, and yet also within walking distance of the get out and party vibes of Ponsonby and Krd. Truly the best of both worlds.
Public transport options are plentiful, with two new train stops on the City Rail link also an added option for you in 2026.

If you do have a car, you'll be glad to know this property comes with a single carpark. Happy days.
The Body Corporate is proactive and committed to maintaining and restoring this Auckland treasure.
Vacant and ready for you to move in and enjoy.
