72 Marine Parade, Herne Bay, Auckland

Expansive Herne Bay Residence

A sprawling and stately 1920s home radiating grandeur and grace, this six bedroom estate on a 1138 square metre (more or less) corner site in a singular jewel in this prestigious seaside enclave. With undeniably majestic street presence, from the moment you step through into this beautiful property you know you're somewhere special.

Entertaining is seamless from the multiple living spaces, from the family lounge with gas fireplace and handsome wood detailing, to the elegant formal lounge. Gaze through leadlight windows to the immaculate, level and private front garden, hidden from the street by a manicured hedge.

The home is anchored by the cleverly planned gourmand's kitchen, which comes with integrated appliances and incredible scullery flowing out to numerous covered and uncovered outdoor living and entertaining spaces for gatherings large and intimate.

Three spacious bedrooms on this level one with walk in robe, alongside a family bathroom and guest powder room.

A gorgeous leadlight window-lined stairwell leads to an adult's retreat: the master with views across to the Waitakere Ranges from your own private balcony. A substantial walk in robe is a given, leading to the stunning ensuite. There is also a family bathroom and nursery adjacent, for watching over the smallest member of the household.

The ground floor of the home is a zone all its own, with a third living area-meets-gym stepping out to the heated pool. Generous bedroom, as well as a large office space, storage and bathroom for guests or the au pair.

Add to all of this a double garage with internal access plus secure off street for additional vehicles, a temperature controlled wine cellar, central heating and in zone for nearby Bayfield School, and you have a spectacular residence set on one of Auckland's most prestigious postcodes. Exquisite and unsurpassed.
