Celebrating an incredible position on Whitby Crescent's prestigious cliff, this Mairangi Bay masterpiece has been designed to showcase spectacular sea views. Crafted over three levels, the immaculately-presented, solid masonry residence presents the perfect balance of chic style and sophistication coupled with a relaxed and welcoming coastal ambiance. The Mairangi Bay lifestyle is regarded as one of the North Shore's best. Number 36a Whitby is just an easy stroll from the golden bay's sand and shore, along with the boutique stores, cafes and restaurants of the village. Families with an eye on the future will also relish the zoning for both Westlake Girls and Boys and Rangitoto College, and proximity to Kristin and Pinehurst. Both locally and internationally sourced materials, fittings and fixtures create the stylish and sophisticated aesthetic, where the user friendly design allows excellent separation as well as connected spaces for family and friends to gather. A small team of experts helped bring the project to life - architect Brent Hulena, Award winning builder Gary Bonham. Security is paramount within the estate. The front gate requires a pin before opening through to the enormous, electronically-controlled timber front door. The view is immediately evident within the gallery-style entrance hall, and the American Oak floors, high ceilings and crisp interior palette create the perfect canvas to offset the 180 degree panorama. Encompassing Rangitoto and its outer islands and from Whangaparoa to Great Barrier and the Coromandel, there's always something to see - stand up paddle boarders, kayakers, dolphins frolicking and the captivating sights and sounds of the tides and weather. The voluminous living, dining and kitchen space on entry level is open plan, with a soaring pitched roof and picture windows, while the cosier formal lounge is warmed in winter by the Living Flame gas fireplace. Each room can be closed off via cavity sliders, and open out to decks and the private garden for afternoon sun. There's another informal living area/ media room/ office or fourth bedroom downstairs, which opens out to the outdoor fireplace and sheltered deck that enjoys a wonderfully private view. The two bedrooms down here both also open out to this deck, and one has an ensuite while the other is serviced by the tiled family bathroom. The entire top floor is dedicated to the master suite, which has been astutely designed so that nothing is visible but the sea and sky when lying in bed. It has sliding windows that allow fresh air and sea breezes to circulate, as well as a dressing room and luxurious bathroom.
