This superb family home is an outstanding example of the relaxed yet sophisticated lifestyle for which Takapuna is so famous. Set behind high walls, the handsome 327m2 residence enjoys its large 779m2 site to the full. The manicured driveway is the only clue to the quality and attention to detail within. This is the perfect home for those with an appreciation of family life and entertaining with style. Generous living areas flow seamlessly from the entrance hall, offering a beautifully appointed kitchen with office beyond, family room, dining room and formal sitting room. These in turn open to a paved and private courtyard where a glistening solar heated pool and waterfall are also served by a large and truly inviting pool house. This stand-alone building - an ideal future minor dwelling, 5th bedroom, work-from-home office or studio - is complete with kitchenette and bathroom, and a secret stairway to a purpose built, 1200 bottle, wine cellar. The main house has three good sized double bedrooms, the master ensuite having its own private and sunny balcony and a glamorous bathroom with his and her basins and bidet. A fourth bedroom, sitting room or hobby room, occupies a third floor and takes in in astonishing views from Rangitoto Island to the Waitakeries. Architecturally designed for the current owners, this sublimely presented property presents unique, resort-style living within an easy walk of Hauraki Village shops, Takapuna Grammar and glorious Takapuna Beach. Maintained to the highest level, the 2003 plaster exterior is constructed with a cavity system and a probe report is available. After 16 wonderful years the family has made future plans.
