19 Gordon Craig Place, Algies Bay, Rodney

Luxury living by the sea

Without exception, this stylish and contemporary beach house is a celebration of sophisticated living.
Designed by award winning architect Julian Guthrie, the homeowners' brief was to create a low maintenance but highly polished home that could comfortably cater for visiting family and friends. The premium position, directly facing the water in the small beach community of Algies Bay on the Matakana Coast is close to Sandspit Yacht Club and looks over the quiet cove and calm waters of Kawau Bay. It is the perfect stage for this immaculate and contemporary four-bedroom, four-bathroom home that exudes casual elegance and delivers a stylish waterside lifestyle. With an emphasis on privacy and ocean views, the generous residence (375sqm approx) is set mainly across a single level, lifted above the road to incorporate extra-large garaging and a spacious basement and boat park. Wrapping around a central courtyard, the outdoor living room provides a social extension to the internal spaces and delivers a sunny and sheltered spot to congregate year-round. Seamlessly linking to the beautifully appointed kitchen and light-filled living within, floor-to-ceiling glass sliders and a frameless glass balustrade on the sea-facing balcony connects the eye with the uninterrupted outlook of the bay. Respected as one of the finest homes in the area, this stunning property will be sold at auction.
