Once in a while a beautifully proportioned elegant home comes to the market that demands your attention, and this is one of those properties. With wide wraparound verandahs on both levels and a sweeping staircase leading down to the lawn and the water beyond, you will fall in love the minute you set eyes on it. Superbly located at the end of the Bayswater peninsula with direct access to the water and your own boathouse, this substantial 5 bedroomed, 3 bathroom home underwent a full refurbishment and remodelling just 3 years ago. The end result being a substantial family home on a grand scale. The home is built over two levels with a beautiful kauri staircase in the centre leading down to the main living and entertaining areas. This is a wonderful inviting space and encompasses the kitchen and dining plus a family lounge, making it the hub of the home. There are four sets of double doors, that open effortlessly to the covered verandahs capturing views of the sea and providing a sheltered spot for entertaining. With the north west aspect of the home you are bathed in sunshine and light for a large part of the day. Open the doors on a summers evening and wander down to the water's edge where a large wooden platform sits out over the sea providing a romantic place to watch the setting sun and enjoy the very best of what this home offers. A boat house sits nearby to house all the toys and provide shelter when required. The bedrooms and three well appointed bathrooms, are conveniently located on the upper level. The generous main bedroom suite at the front of the home, which is complete with walk in robe and en-suite, has elegant French doors that open out to the covered verandah. The view beyond through the resort style palm trees is mesmerising and a delight to wake up to. There is a second bedroom with en-suite ideal for guests, and three additional double rooms all with built in wardrobes. A bathroom on this level ensures family harmony. A second lounge room with doors opening to the verandah is conveniently located on this level also. This truly is a magnificent family home in a spectacular waterfront location. Bayswater marina is close by and the ferry service provides an excellent alternative for commuting to downtown Auckland City.
