Final Week - Waterfront Treasure

Uninterrupted views and an extraordinary, tranquil lifestyle ensure north-facing waterfront homes on Orakei Basin are rarely offered, this one treasured by one family for 50 years.

Discover mid-century 1962 Mark-Brown & Fairhead architecture respectfully updated for modern living to maximise the magnificent views from a peaceful and private setting.

Stunning entry leadlight windows by Suzanne Hanly add to the unique ambiance within the luminous interior. A new designer kitchen alongside casual dining has Italian marble and three Miele ovens, complementing new Forte timber floors. The glistening water of the basin is constantly on display, including from this level's lounge-formal dining and sunroom with large windows sliding open to outdoors. The family room flows out to decking, harbouring a north-facing alfresco dining area amidst the birdsong.

The swimming pool with spa pool promises endless balmy summer days, washing off afterwards in an outdoor shower. Forge your way down to the basin walkway or marvel at the microclimate visited by Tui, Kereru and Heron.

Adventures done for the day, children can relax in the downstairs lounge with abundant storage. The ensuited master suite opens to a front deck at the other end of this level. A hallway incorporating a study area accompanies three more north-facing bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate laundry.

Private access to council reserve, which provides a strong connection to nature and locks in enduring views. This 859m2 site near the top of this sought-after lane offers level off-street parking seldom found in this enclave, plus a single garage with workshop and single carport.

Close to many private schools, zoning includes Remuera Primary, Remuera Intermediate and Epsom Girls' Grammar. This very convenient location, near Benson Road shops and Orakei Bay Village and train station, teams with tranquility and privacy which can almost make you forget you're in central Auckland.
