Tucked within a peaceful and tranquil garden oasis, this stylish residence has been architecturally designed to showcase spectacular views of city, sea and sky. The well-considered floorplan is spread across a series of levels, with the separate, top floor study with fold out bed easily doubling as a third bedroom if required. The weight of the world lifts as you arrive at this private slice of paradise. Inside, walls of floor-to-ceiling glass throughout take in every facet of the cinematic and ever-changing outlook, which extends out over the Onepoto Domain, across the inner harbour and to the dramatic city skyline beyond. There is always something to experience and enjoy, from the Sky Tower fireworks, buildings alighting at night and constant nautical activity on the water. While open-plan, the kitchen, dining, living and office areas are divided into distinct zones. The cosy lounge has a gas fire and the generous kitchen offers good storage. The morning sun floods onto the front deck with glass balustrade, while the afternoon sun streams into the private rear courtyard, which is framed with Japanese-style gardens and ideal for a hammock. One bedroom upstairs overlooks the foyer and is serviced by the main bathroom, while the master has its own ensuite and boasts the best views of the house. These can be enjoyed either from bed or the spacious private deck. Along with the double internal garage, there is plenty of off-street parking and adjacent to the house is a plot of land for creating even more parking for a boat or campervan. This location is surprisingly well-connected and the handy motorway onramp at the end of Sylvan Ave means Ponsonby, the CBD and Takapuna are all just a 10-minute drive. The Onepoto Domain is another drawcard, with its playground, reserves and sports grounds. The neighbourhood is also in zone for good schools as well as handy to AUT.
