Aficionados of mid-century modernism will recognise the clean lines and expertly balanced proportions showcased in the main home, designed by acclaimed architect Stanislaw Penski in the 60's. In the early 2000's architect Jennifer Cook reimagined Penski's aesthetic for the current owners.

Gallery-style walls provide space for art in the light-filled and open-plan lounge, dining and timeless kitchen area. A wall of glass sliding doors opens out to the wrap-around deck, while the adjacent TV snug is cosy space.

There are four bedrooms (or three plus office) and two bathrooms on the top floor, including the spacious master retreat with its own sitting room, ensuite and views to North Head, Mount Victoria and Rangitoto. Downstairs is another lounge, bedroom and bathroom - perfect for teenagers.

With its own entrance and outdoor living, the very private two-bedroom apartment at ground level garners a healthy rent. On the other side of the double carport, the separate studio boasts a kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom, plus opens out to a private deck and the flourishing vege garden and orchard.

The property embraces the corner of Niccol Ave, a quiet cul-se-sac that has a walkway down to the Golf Club. Lush, well-established landscaped gardens envelop the home and provide wonderful protection and privacy from Old Lake Road. The owners call their much-loved neighbourhood their ‘playground' - as it's so close to amazing beaches, maunga and the village.
