Architectural masterpiece

If you'd like the convenience of a luxury apartment but have a desire for your own easy-care garden, this superb home will be perfect!

Delivering sea views on a level rarely witnessed, this home's scene-stealing architecture delivers an exceptional lifestyle of convenience and luxury with dramatic ocean views. Architect Simon Carnachan's vision saw the creation of this unique and iconic home that hugs the coast with its sweeping curves and 27 metres of floor-to-ceiling glass. Easy-care inside and out, with a charming private garden overlooking the water making it perfect for both a permanent home or a lock-up and leave. A recent masterful renovation has transformed the interiors to a timeless, contemporary aesthetic with superior detailing including new Poggenpohl kitchens. Three of the four bedrooms (each with an ensuite) are on the upper level, future-proofed with direct elevator access. You will love the convenience of the semi-separate flat on the ground level, providing perfect accommodation for extended family or guests. The master suite has the views and ambience of the captain's cabin on a luxury cruise ship. This exceptional solid concrete home is very liveable, with every creature's comfort catered for.

Superbly positioned in the heart of Takapuna's Avenues, with delightful swimming beaches minutes from your door. Slip your kayak into the water to catch snapper for breakfast or entertain on a grand or intimate scale. The largely maintenance-free home is constructed to commercial standards with reinforced concrete adding solidity and fantastic thermal mass. A near-perfect lifestyle for those wanting an exceptional forever home or an incredibly special slice of Auckland's waterfront as their New Zealand refuge or lock up and leave.

This sculptural masterpiece remains on the cutting edge, there will be no repeating what it offers.
