1980s Architectural Masterpiece

Sea views from every room and sunlight from every angle - this unique family masterpiece was cleverly designed to celebrate the relaxed Auckland lifestyle by one of New Zealand's most acclaimed architects, Simon Carnachan in the 1980s. Built of concrete block and weatherboard the 5-bedroom home has since been tastefully and extensively renovated to a high standard by the current owners, for a chic contemporary flavour incorporating double glazing and quality stone finishings.

There is a definite wow factor as you arrive on the main living level with its vanilla marble tiled floors, dramatic, soaring ceiling and views across the water to the Harbour Bridge, the City and Coromandel beyond. Light floods through large windows high in the room. The kitchen features granite benchtops and induction oven. Several sitting areas provide choices with 2 sets of glass doors opening to a sundrenched, full width entertainer's deck.

When you feel like retreating, a cosy lounge offers a moody ambience focused on a log fire in a silver brown travertine feature wall with basalt hearth next to the built-in entertainment centre. It expands out to the rear where you can bask in afternoon sun watching children play in the sparkling pool surrounded by landscaped terraced gardens.

While there is a powder room on this level, bedroom suites on the upper floor have 2 more beautiful bathrooms. The large master suite is sumptuous with huge walk-in wardrobe and amazing Harbour and City views that you can gaze from your bedside. The ensuite features luscious titanium granite floor tiles with a slip resistant finish while the family bathroom has a marble vanity top and matching porcelain floor tiles.

As well as the 3 bedrooms on top, the lower level is versatile, accommodating 2 more bedrooms, living space and a shared third bathroom - ideal as a work from home office with parking for up to 8 cars in addition to the oversized double internal garaging. For teens, it has fantastic separation! Great for extended families or Airbnb. In a fabulous family community near Birkenhead shops and the Birkenhead Ferry Terminal with the supermarket in close proximity , handy to bush walks and the popular Chelsea View Primary. Brilliant architecture, great design - so many fantastic choices await the next owners.

Auction: On site, Sunday 2nd May at 12.00pm (unless sold prior)
