A couple who’ve spent decades upping the bar as they’ve created boutique luxury apartments around Auckland say this apartment is in their most premium complex to date, boasting the widest view they’ve created.
This is the last available of three luxury apartments Peter and Judy Jones created on the Eastern point above Mission Bay, in a three-year project on a difficult site pursuing stunning views.
Peter says: “All our work out here on the point has delivered a really expansive outlook with this apartment’s master bedroom, kitchen-family-dining, loggia and media room all looking straight out to sea and another bedroom looking down Mission Bay beach.”

Former builder Peter and his aesthetically-savvy wife Judy share in these striking views, living in a home next door to this boutique building. They choose to work on their luxury projects with architect Brian Cullen and interior designer Jennie Dunlop.
Peter says: “This building is more exclusive than anything we’ve done before. It’s not just the way it faces; we’re constantly looking to step up our game and make use of new materials and ideas every time we do a building.”
Agent Gerard Charteris of Ray White Remuera who has long marketed the Jones’ luxury creations agrees this three-apartment complex reaches a new pinnacle.
He says: “You can gauge people’s reactions as soon as they come in and see how much of the apartment is soaking up the view. They’re blown away, they haven’t seen anything like it.”
The wide harbour frontage of this new solid masonry building gazes at the sea around from Mission Bay, out to the North Shore and around a swath of blue ocean to Rangitoto. It takes in Sky Tower behind Bastion Point’s rise of green plus Selwyn Reserve and Mission Bay’s beachfront.
Gerard says: “In some spots further round the bays the portion of sea you look at just becomes black at night but part of the joy here is seeing the sea against the night lights of the city and the Shore. It’s beautiful.”
The penthouse and lower apartment have already been bought by couples. Gerard can also see this 303sq m layout suiting a family who’d appreciate the separation between the master suite and other two bedrooms.
Entry to this apartment looks right through the main breadth of its extended living and lines up with a superb all-weather front loggia projecting forwards, its front frameless glass Dorma doors able to fold away.
There’s air-conditioning throughout plus a wide marble-hearth gas fire in the lounge at one end of the living-dining-family-kitchen spread.
The entertainers’ kitchen with scullery is impeccable. Even people sitting on bar seating facing inland at the kitchen’s quartzite waterfall island can appreciate the sea view in the grey mirrored glass splashback.
The lounge and a neighbouring sea-gazing media room or office, which is able to be shut off, open to a front balcony. So does the Eastern-end’s master suite with walk-in-wardrobe and luxurious ensuite laden with marble.
There are two ensuited western-end bedrooms plus a laundry room and an elegant powder room. Automation controls features including blinds and lights, with light switches for those who prefer not to use it.
The apartment comes with three car park spaces in an internal-access garage including a dedicated storage unit and electric car charging facilities.
This residence at 20B Selwyn Avenue in Mission Bay Auckland has a set date of sale closing 4pm, Thursday 28 November 2019 (unless sold prior).
