11 Stack Street, Herne Bay, Auckland

Palm Springs meets Herne Bay

Built in the 1960s and radiating iconic mid-century style, this incredible six-bedroom home on Herne Bay's prestigious northern slopes is a perfectly positioned Palm Springs paradise with potential.

Mostly untouched since the 1990s, the sprawling residence has the feel of a holiday home yet occupies a grand position in one of the city's most sought after suburbs. Flowing across two levels, it opens with an expansive open plan living and dining area flowing out to north facing decking and views to the sea.

Passionate gourmets will love the huge entertainer's kitchen, with endless storage and a generous island for chatting with the chef at prep time. A media room is also on this floor, along with the north-facing master suite with access out to decking for soaking up the sun and enjoying the views. Two additional double bedrooms share a family bathroom.

The lower level of the home is a zone on its own, with a third living area leading directly out to the inviting pool. There are an additional three bedrooms, one with separation from others and includes ensuite and dressing room that would be perfect for the au pair or when guests come to stay. Also on this level is a spacious, stylish office space with private entry from the road and powder room, making for the perfect work from home space away from family life. A separate laundry and internal access to the double carport complete the picture.

On a 646sqm site and with off street parking for additional vehicles, this grand residence is so easy to move into right now but also boasting opportunity to add value. Restore the home to its former glory with the help of your architect, or completely modernise and enjoy its premium position close to local beaches, cafes and boutiques.
