When this Bayswater home was built in the early 1990s, it wasn't just a house being constructed - it was the dream of a couple who envisioned a life filled with light, space, and the magnificent beauty of Shoal Bay. For decades, they cherished every sunrise spilling across the water, every summer spent with family on the lawn, and every winter warm with a view. Now, for the very first time, this much-loved property is ready for the next lucky owners to begin their own waterfront story.
Tucked quietly down a wide driveway off Beresford Street, this North Shore Peninsula retreat reveals itself like a secret garden. Elevated above the high-tide mark, it feels worlds away from the bustle of Auckland City, yet you're just minutes from Bayswater Marina, the ferry to the CBD, and top local schools including Takapuna Grammar School and Belmont Intermediate. Almost every window frames an ever-changing aspect - sparkling waterfront, moody skies, and boats drifting past as part of your daily outlook. And truly, there's no need for a pool when you have an incredible sea view like this.
Inside, the home is full of character and surprises - a ship's gangway entrance that crosses a fishpond, timber floors that glow with warmth, and effortless flow from living spaces to sunny decks and lawns that meet the water. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a double garage with internal access and ample storage, it's a home that strikes a balance between functionality and relaxed coastal living.
For builders, investors, and DIY specialists, this is a rare opportunity - a chance to do up, renovate, reclad, or rebuild into a true waterfront masterpiece. For the next owner, it's an invitation to write their own story on the sunny side of the Bayswater Peninsula - to experience the privacy, the connection to the water, and the sense of place that has made this home treasured for so long.
Auction 20th November at 12pm (USP) In Rooms, 128 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna
