This stunning, gated, Italian inspired villa is your entry to a private and privileged environment. The setting - on the shore of beautiful Lake Pupuke - is sublime. The home is so thoughtfully designed that once you enter from the village-like courtyard, you are in your own very private domain. The dramatic foyer with its soaring ceiling sets the tone. Quality and craftsmanship are evident throughout, from the heated marble flooring to the imported Italian kitchen with granite counters and custom cabinetry. A luxurious lounge opens out to the sparkling waters of the lake - the same blissful outlook is echoed from the master bedroom suite above. The lakeside location provides an enviable lifestyle for professional families who love to entertain. Desirability is further enhanced by the quick and easy access to Milford and Takapuna shopping, outstanding beaches, excellent schools, including Westlake Girls and Boys High Schools, public transport, the motorway and city business centre. Having chosen a retirement village the current owners are very serious sellers indeed! Own an ultra-secure, lock-up-and-leave luxury home in one of the very best neighbourhoods Auckland has to offer.
