For sale for the first time since it was built in 1966 (locally known as the Dolphin House), this immensely admired four-bedroom home on a double frontage section is simply breathtaking - inside and out.
Its substantial remodel reflects Fritz Eisenhofer's legacy while maximising the mesmerising views that stretch from Breaker Bay to Cook Strait and the South Island, that cannot be built out. Perhaps even more remarkable than the wrap around panorama is the sheltered private north side garden, with its flat lawn, pond, gorgeous gazebo, and native bush hillside - exceptional in this location.
Everything about this commanding landmark has been thoughtfully and ingeniously designed, from the atrium-style sunroom (complete with shade cloth and sunken spa pool) to the self-cleaning windows, from the light-filled open-plan living configured around a central gas fireplace to the companionable music or TV area, from the superbly appointed kitchen and dining area with sea and mountain views to the separate bedroom wing for children and guests.
Complementing the internal double garaging is ample off-street parking, with space for a boat, plus a work-shop and storeroom. Decks front and back, and a centralised audio system for listening to music in the living areas and main bedroom suite, make this as much an entertainers' haven as a singular seaside family home that offers a peerless lifestyle within easy reach of the city and airport.
