IMPRESSIVE...

From the moment you walk up to the 4.0m high polished front door you know that this home is going to make an impression. Refurbished twice in its 40yr history, this home has been redesigned to capture the light. Spacious living areas flow to beautiful outdoor spaces with striking views across the Orakei Basin to the city and beyond. Diagonal lines flow together throughout with a mix of industrial stainless steel columns and tensioned rigging, glass and the neutral shades of the interior finishes. Upstairs, the double height gallery showcases the views, while providing the privacy of the master bedroom and ensuite, 2 further bedrooms, and fantastic media room with library. Double height windows are shaded by automated sun shades that descend within the outside columns. Close to the entrance are twin offices located for convenience. Beautifully landscaped with tropical palms and bromeliads, the grounds include a 15m pool and surely the one of the best barbecue areas in Auckland, all with the backdrop of the wonderful view. Leaving the surprise until last, hidden behind a moveable wall is the secret wine and grain cellar. A wonderful touch which reflects the marriage of the minds of architects and owners.
