Cherished for over 40 years, our owners are reluctantly bidding farewell to the home where they have raised their family, lovingly maintained and impeccably cared for throughout the decades. Homes with this much heart, space, and potential are increasingly rare-and we haven't even mentioned the view. Elevated to capture sweeping views across the harbour and Auckland's glittering skyline, this substantial family home offers a lifestyle that is both peaceful and connected. By day, enjoy the ever-changing outlook across water and cityscape; by night, watch the skyline come alive in a dazzling display of lights. Filled with natural light and designed for real family living, the upper level offers generous living spaces and a flexible layout that effortlessly accommodates busy mornings, family gatherings, and quiet evenings alike. The living areas flow to an elevated deck where the spectacular outlook takes centre stage, while the spacious primary suite, complete with ensuite and separate toilet, provides the convenience of single-level living. Downstairs, the opportunities continue. Additional bedrooms, bathroom, study, and internal-access garage create options for growing families, generational living, guests, working from home, or future enhancement. Connecting the two levels is a striking glass atrium stairwell, complemented by the convenience of a recently installed Stiltz lift. Surrounding the home is a private garden sanctuary rich in character and colour. Mature kauri, magnolia, sakura (flowering cherry), puka and ponga ferns create a tranquil setting, while productive fruit trees-including apple, plum, lemon, lime, feijoa and tamarillo provide an abundant seasonal harvest. Meandering mosaic pathways, a charming birdbath, and a spa-ready power connection add to the appeal, while a second deck off the study offers another peaceful spot to take in the remarkable city views. It's a setting that feels worlds away, yet remains incredibly convenient. Privately positioned in one of Northcote's most connected locations, within walking distance are highly regarded schools, parks, walking tracks, local amenities, and excellent public transport. With the CBD just a short commute away by bus or car, this is a location that continues to attract families seeking both lifestyle and convenience. A much-loved family home offering exceptional space, breathtaking views, established gardens, and scope to add value in a sought-after North Shore location. Ready for its next chapter, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Link to property docs https://www.harcourtsfiles.co.nz/listings/93IN
