If sunshine is top of your list, Apartment 403 delivers. A north-west facing corner position means this apartment is bathed in natural light from morning through to evening - a wonderfully cheerful place to call home. At 53.5m² including a 5.5m² balcony, the layout is well-proportioned and thoughtful, with a full Bosch appliance package included.

Residents at Chelsea Rise enjoy access to a fully equipped gym, residents' lounge and shared workspace, and beautifully landscaped grounds with a community garden.

Step outside and Birkenhead Village is right there - cafes, restaurants, local shops, a medical centre, entertainment, nature walks and excellent public transport links, just 8km from the Auckland CBD. Priced at $855,000.
