Exquisite dress circle residence
An unsurpassed opportunity to secure one of the most prestigious homes in the St Marys Bay dress circle, properties of this calibre are seldom available in this closely held inner city suburb.
The meticulous award-winning renovation by Salmond Reed Architects has transformed this five bedroom villa into an impressive retreat with flexible spaces and touches of tropical luxury that takes full advantage of the panoramic views across the city and Waitemata Harbour.
The entry level enjoys an elegant courtyard, double internal garaging, two generously sized double bedrooms, a family sized bathroom, media room and huge laundry. Up the staircase featuring sophisticated b&o Casa matte French oak flooring and you are welcomed to the heart of the home with multiple spaces for relaxation and entertainment.
The impressive open plan Robyn Labb kitchen and dining area opens to the north-facing deck to soak up the outstanding harbour view. The living area with large open fireplace flows out to the second outdoor living space that will transport you to the Bahamas with its resort-style plunge pool, lush tropical gardens designed by Trudy Crerar, fireplace and louvre-covered area, and views right back through the house to the city. A streamlined study with a view is tucked away.
The centrepiece entertainers kitchen is timeless and elegant, with a honed marble kitchen island, bespoke solid oak cabinetry, large Smeg oven with gas hobs and masses of storage. Also on this level is a guest bathroom, large double bedroom with lounge space, double wardrobing and en suite that opens to the rear courtyard, and the master with walk in wardrobe and large tiled en suite.
Make your way up to the top floor and the sun-soaked fifth bedroom. Sporting a pitched roof, skylights, aircon, wardrobing and en suite, it also makes a lovely work from home space. Perfectly located close to Jervois Road and in zone for Ponsonby Primary and Intermediate, there is nothing left to do in this dream family estate
