Offered to the Market for the first time (as one standalone home) since being built, lies a rare and exciting opportunity to secure one of Takapuna's most significant architectural properties. Positioned on one of the highest sites along this tightly held stretch of beachfront, the home enjoys exceptional elevation, 1,118 sqm of land, privacy and uninterrupted views across Takapuna Beach to Rangitoto. The home would suit a small family perfectly and at just over 320sqm with three ensuited bedrooms, it's small enough for couples to downsize to.
The home was originally designed with four bedrooms, with the fourth subsequently amalgamated into the master suite by the current owners, providing scope to reinstate this configuration should a purchaser require additional accommodation.
Designed by Sir Ian Athfield, together with Zac Athfield and Nick Strachan of Athfield Architects, the residence is a striking combination of cedar, precast concrete and sliding screens, creating an architectural home that combines industrial permanence with refined coastal living. Expansive floor-to-ceiling double glazing ensures the beach and water remain an ever-present backdrop to the main open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas. Concrete floors with gas underfloor heating provide both warmth and permanence, while a feature fireplace and adjoining sunroom create excellent year-round living. Large openings connect the interiors seamlessly with the beachfront setting and direct access to the sand.
The master suite is exceptional, incorporating a private lounge, full-width deck and generous ensuite where the bath enjoys what would have to be one of the best views in the house - superb.
A second double bedroom opens onto a full bathroom, while a further bedroom suite includes its own living area, ensuite, and private deck. The property also offers a generous double garage, gated driveway access, off-street parking and a comprehensive security system.
