About this property

After 37 magical years of ownership, the kids have grown and it's time for the next family to enjoy the exceptional lifestyle this beautifully built, maintained and upgraded family home provides. Positioned on an elevated north facing 1,201sqm freehold section with dual level grandstand harbour and Rangitoto views from every room, the superior quality of this property is evident throughout. Originally constructed in the 1970s with cedar weatherboards on a concrete block base with copper flashing, gutters and downpipes, architect Malcolm Hislop's considered enhancements blend superb original engineering with contemporary comfort while opening the home to its extraordinary outlook. The main living and dining domain is the focal point, with extensive glazing putting Rangitoto centre stage and flowing out to a wraparound deck. The indoor-outdoor connection is further enhanced thanks to the exterior staircase that connects with the lawn, garden and heated swimming pool. The late-2024 installed kitchen brings contemporary precision with its engineered stone surfaces, engineered oak floors and premium Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances. An adjoining sitting area gives children their own place to unwind while dinner comes together, still with those expansive water views as company. Four bedrooms provide excellent family separation, including three upstairs and the ground-floor primary suite with its recently completed walk in robe and striking ensuite. Two luxurious Morgan Cronin-designed bathrooms introduce floor-to-ceiling marble tiles, refined cabinetry and underfloor heating. On the lower level a substantial second living or media room opens directly to the flat lawn, pool and outdoor entertaining area, creating another relaxed space for family life. A beautifully appointed laundry, wool carpet, solid oak stair detailing and extensive insulation are just some of the considered and extensive list of upgrades. A large single garage, double carport and ample off-street parking for guests complete the practical picture, while the beach and village are walking distance and excellent schooling is close by. Beautifully built and carefully evolved, this is quite simply a magical family home in a coveted position ready for its next family to create new memories.
