Living room and internal garden

The home

Two levels, made for living well.

Kitchen with a red island bench and stools, open to the living room

Kitchen and living

The sense of arrival is immediate. Beyond the front door, a verdant internal garden unfolds beneath soaring triple-height ceilings, while electronically controlled glass panels flood the home with natural light and blur the boundaries between indoors and out. Every detail reflects the creativity and craftsmanship of its original owner, from the bespoke handmade tiles featured throughout the kitchen and bathrooms to the thoughtfully configured spaces designed for both connection and retreat.

Office with a built-in desk and cabinets, and doors open to the deck and garden

Office or fourth bedroom

Offering three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, an office / fourth bedroom, two generous living areas and double garaging, the home accommodates family life with ease while providing an abundance of quiet corners in which to relax, create and recharge.

A wide black-framed window open to the lawn, palms and the harbour beyond

The harbour, framed

Beyond the home itself lies the true magic of this exceptional property. Sweeping lawns descend to the water's edge, where steps provide direct access to the harbour below. With a boat mooring and ample room to explore options for a waterfront pavilion, cabana or boathouse, the setting invites a lifestyle centred around the water and Auckland's spectacular natural environment.

Dining table and window seat with windows on three sides looking toward the water

Dining area

While the existing home is an extraordinary offering in its own right, the site presents an equally compelling proposition for those seeking to create a landmark waterfront residence in one of Auckland's most tightly held locations.

Paved terrace with built-in seating, a curving lawn and palms above the water

The city at your back, the harbour at your feet.
