34 Rawene Avenue, Westmere, Auckland

Architectural waterfront masterpiece

One of just a handful of properties in the exclusive Westmere coastal enclave and occupying a one-of-a-kind absolute waterfront landholding, this premium architectural masterpiece is an extremely rare offering.

Unlike many similarly prestigious waterfront homes, this quietly opulent sanctuary has its own beach access, boat ramp, fish cleaning area and outdoor shower, perfect after all your water sports and activities.

Designed by award-winning architecture firm Stevens Lawson and crowned Home of the Year in 2007, its intelligent, timeless design unfolds across 428sqm of impeccable and effortless all-encompassing living that captures the uninterrupted sea views.

A series of thoughtful interconnecting indoor and outdoor spaces ensure versatility and easy entertaining in all seasons and moods. The open plan living, dining and centrepiece kitchen flows out to the north west-facing al fresco hosting domain with its expansive decking, sunken seating pit with outdoor fireplace, landscaped lawn and garden, swimming pool and spa. The panoramic water vista from this private vantage point is breathtaking.

Three plush bedrooms occupy their own wing with a family bathroom in the centre, and there is also a media room, study (fifth bedroom) and gym on this level. The upper level is entirely dedicated to the extraordinary primary suite encompassing a super-sized walk through robe, luxe ensuite and balcony with its spectacular harbour outlook.

Nestled on 1183sqm of land, the vast sculptural form of the home is quiet and unassuming from the street, and subtle upgrades over time have elevated and enhanced the zen-inspired residence. Internal garaging completes this exceptional tour de force, located within close proximity to the city, Ponsonby and Herne Bay. Stroll up to the wonderful local cafes and amenities, Cox's Bay Park and the well respected Westmere School. Vendor has relocated overseas - for definite sale.
