Commanding attention this classic New Hampshire Coastal style home, a design rarely seen in New Zealand, stands proud overlooking the Formosa International Golf Course, within the sought-after Whitford locale.

A handsome structure surrounded by expansive grounds, including an established traditional hedged garden and inground pool with beautiful coastal views, is both romantic and elegant. An impressive full shingle exterior and splendid interior features, including a magnificent staircase reminiscent of a movie scene, this wonderful home interior seems to have been stolen from amongst the beautiful socialite locations used in ‘Downton Abbey'.

Remarkable finely detailed wood panelling, high ceilings, lead lights, beautiful fireplaces and a huge laundry/butlers pantry (original kitchen) with secret servant's passage. A series of elegant well-connected living and entertainment rooms including a full bar and huge modern farmhouse kitchen opening onto the pool terrace and the protected and tranquil water views towards Rangitoto Island in the distance.

A versatile media room or library, office or fourth bedroom including an extensive master with walk in robe and ensuite bathroom. Also, another self-contained bedroom for guests or staff is attached to the three-car garage. With generous grounds and beautifully established trees this magnificent home is beckoning its next owners, so if you love classic features and are garden lovers, this could certainly be your lifetimes dream.

Located close to Pine Harbour Marina for a fast 35-minute commute to Auckland's CBD, and within a few minutes' drive of Pohutukawa Coast Shopping Centre with supermarket and other facilities this is a superb and unique opportunity to completely change your lifestyle.
