Timeless Elegance with a Sophisticated, Contemporary Twist

Perfectly positioned to take full advantage of all that sunny Mission Bay has to offer, this large attractive home has recently undergone thorough restoration and extension to produce a marvelous, highly functional, contemporary family home.

The large formal entry lobby makes a welcoming first impression with its high stud, open feel and polished hardwood floors. Directly off the lobby a large living room is lent atmosphere with a gas fireplace and sunny bay window making it an excellent room to entertain on a more formal level. Cavity sliders divide the drawing room from the separate dining room which has enough room to accommodate a large dinner party very comfortably and in great style.

Stepping down from the entry one enters a more recent addition to the home including the large modern entertainer's kitchen where a vast island bench is a superb place to prepare the meal while simultaneously conversing and interacting with children or guests. The kitchen opens directly to a large private and sheltered deck giving excellent flow for entertaining and alfresco dining.

From the kitchen the large house progresses even further to reveal a huge informal living room. Custom book shelves line one wall and floor to ceiling glass doors and windows maximize light making the room open, airy and highly inviting for both family and friends alike. The family room opens to a spacious outdoor loggia which is both a functional and visually attractive architectural feature. Looking into the garden the loggia is ideal as a secondary entertainment zone but could also be the perfect position to place a relaxing spa pool.
The top level is devoted entirely to the large master suite complete with walk-in wardrobe and an exquisitely finished and detailed contemporary tiled en-suite; a motif that is carried over into the secondary bathroom downstairs. The bedroom boasts a harbour panorama that sweeps from Devonport, past Mt Victoria and across to Auckland's iconic Rangitoto Island.

Fully fenced and gated for excellent security with plenty of off street parking, the large flat 854 sq meter section offers a host of possibilities for those wishing to add their personal touch and flair to the landscaping of the generously proportioned property and take advantage of some of the already established plantings currently in the garden.

The location offers the day to day amenities of Coates Avenue, Eastridge shopping centre, Orakei Tennis Club within walking distance with an easy 15 minute waterfront drive to the heart of Auckland's CBD; not to mention the close proximity to Mission Bay, Remuera, Parnell and their associated schools and shopping areas. The Mission Bay Park, beach and waterfront lined with cafes and restaurants is a very short and easy distance by foot; ideal for walking dogs, jogging, cycling, kayaking or merely taking time out with the family to enjoy time together.
