Masonry magic

Embrace the best of cosmopolitan living in one of Parnell's most coveted streets mere moments from the Rose Gardens and Rosie Cafe.

This freestanding solid masonry home offers a rare combination of scale, exceptional location and the ease of a true lock up and leave lifestyle.

Electric gates swing open to welcome you into a recently refreshed haven of modern comfort and luxury. Living and entertaining is on the light filled open plan central level. Anchored by a solid stone island, the kitchen is a dream for the chef in the household, featuring gas hobs, integrated appliances and abundant cabinetry. This entire space transitions beautifully to a hedge fringed courtyard and a striking mosaic-tiled plunge pool, perfectly designed to maximise every inch of this private and sheltered outdoor oasis.

As you ascend the stairs, newly laid timber floors guide you to the upper sleeping quarters and a versatile second lounge perfect for quiet relaxation. The family bathroom complete with a deep soaking bath offers direct access to a large sun drenched balcony. On the uppermost level, the primary suite serves as a penthouse retreat with wardrobing, spa-like ensuite and your own private balcony offering sweeping sea views toward iconic Rangitoto. There is also a home office/third bedroom guests situated on the entry level.

Freshly renovated throughout, with generous storage and a double garage with internal access plus additional off street parking - nothing has been left off the list to create an urban haven.

Stroll to the Gladstone Road shops and in zone for Parnell School and in DGZ. Pop down to Judge's Bay, the waterfront or the local tennis club.

A sophisticated low maintenance lifestyle in an exclusive part of Parnell.
