Character hideaway, show-stopping panorama

Open the door to an unforgettable, show-stopping wraparound panorama of the Waitemata Harbour and Rangitoto Island. You immediately feel as if you have escaped the city to a peaceful, romantic hideaway in this beautiful English-style character home, elevated above an exquisite sub-tropical garden on 814sqm of land. Nearly every room of the generous 268sqm four-bedroom, three-bathroom family home has a perfect north-west-facing aspect. So it is always sunny and warm. Expansive adjoining living areas in soft green hues include two lounges and a kitchen/dining area which hover above the lush green treeline opening wide to decks. When the sun is shining and the air is still in the afternoon, it is utterly divine, a hidden piece of paradise with the privileged tropical vibe of a boutique Singapore hotel. The kitchen has been beautifully designed to make entertaining effortless, flowing out to the deck. While there is a guest bedroom and modern bathroom on entry level, the entire upstairs level is dedicated to a sumptuous, grand master suite with office, walk-in dressing room and marble ensuite. Up here, the views are even more astounding, sweeping over Bastion Point and the harbour. On the lower level, it's more secluded with an intimate connection to the garden and sounds of a stream meandering through planting. Two more large bedrooms and a gorgeous bathroom featuring a freestanding bath flow out to another large, very sheltered deck, just the place to relax. Positioned in a lovely, wide no-exit street where there is plenty of parking, handy to Mission Bay Beach and Eastridge Shopping Mall. Stunning as is but with potential for further development. Maximise this incredible opportunity now.
