AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD, 2pm Wed 13 Nov, 30 Gaunt St, Auckland.

Designed by Graham Sawell of Pyramidz Architecture and completed in 2007, the owners brief was for an uncomplicated beach house design with a boat house look. Mission accomplished!

Sitting on a large 796 square metre site with a walkway to the beach on the southern boundary, it's only a two minute stroll to the white sands via accessway No.18. This is a beautiful part of the beach where swimming and watersports will be a popular pastime in summer for the new owners of this property.

With its high-pitched ceilings in the central living area, exposed beams, neutral colour palette and combination of polished concrete and hardwood timber floors there is a real beach vibe here. An open plan kitchen, dining and living area open to an enclosed courtyard with outdoor fireplace on the north western side. The perfect area to spend evenings around the fire with friends and family over dinner. Bi fold doors on the other side also open the living area up to the north east to a large private sunny rear garden. A "jetty" themed deck extending out into the garden is the perfect place to have breakfast or lunch in the sun or relax in the spa after an early morning swim or a day at the beach.

Under floor heating beneath the polished concrete floors and a gas fireplace in the lounge, ensure the house stays warm in winter and in summer it's a case of throwing open all the doors and windows as the sun pours in from morning until late afternoon. Accommodation is catered for with a master bedroom with walk through wardrobe and ensuite on the eastern side of the home. A guest bedroom and a large third bedroom or possible bunkroom/rumpus area are located on the western side and share a guest bathroom with shower, vanity and wc. A double garage and secure boat park finish things off and build guidelines indicate it should be possible to add on or build up in future if more space is required.

A great opportunity to secure a very cool beach house in a top location.
