Regardless of whether a new owner wants to live in one of these well-appointed courtyard terraces or take advantage of their appeal as an Airbnb prospect, or investment, the array of features on offer in these four rare freehold offerings is impressive.
Union Green at 47 Union Street in Auckland Central is a development constructed by Peddle Thorp with interior design by Amelia Holmes and landscaping by Natural Habitats.
The complex is perfectly positioned for easy CBD access while the leafy suburbs of Freemans Bay and Ponsonby are only a short stroll away and meandering to Wynyard Quarter is another option for eating and drinking at top establishments.
On offer are four north-facing two-bedroom homes with two bathrooms, and various options for single or tandem garaging, which may possibly be purchased separately if required.

However, many Union Green residents are successfully embracing walking, cycling, public transport and ride-sharing in their quest for a greener lifestyle.
The living in each is open-plan, with a very well-appointed kitchen, featuring quality Fisher and Paykel appliances and an expansive living and dining space.
The bedrooms are upstairs along with the elegant, timeless, partially tiled bathrooms and a furniture package is also on offer to enable a buyer, a guest or a tenant to simply move in and start living this trendy new urban lifestyle.
The decor throughout is crisp, cool and contemporary with colours and textures referencing nature. Three of the homes have black kitchens and one is finished in white.
With a few small personal touches in terms of art, cushions and throws, new owners could easily put their own mark on the homes where sunlight streams in, via huge, double-glazed windows and glass doors. The homes have been constructed using concrete for its thermal properties and are warm in winter and cool in summer.
One of the things which sets Union Green apart from other inner-city developments is the extensive landscaping that surrounds the homes within it.
The complex’s Central Park is characterised by the large jacaranda trees with their purple flowers, which already look as if they’ve stood there for decades.
These particular terraces each have private access via a beautiful green courtyard, plus their own rear decks for morning coffees and summer evening tipples.
Theo Holmes from RE/MAX is marketing the properties and says that the current owner is firmly committed to selling and is happy to discuss the price with interested parties.
He adds that low body corporate fees and rates mean these homes will provide surprisingly affordable, pet-friendly living with 24-hour surveillance.
“What we have here is unique, and it’s quite possibly the only chance for potential buyers to secure such a great property in such a central location.”
Holmes urges buyers to get in touch and talk through the various possibilities – including the potential availability of car parks with or sold separately from the units.
