Offered to the market for only the second time since its construction in the 1980s, this exceptional family residence is a masterclass in quality, scale, and design. Modelled to evoke the charm of a Spanish resort, the home is rich in enduring materials and architectural detail, delivering an immediate sense of grandeur from the moment you arrive.
Welcome guests through the impressive formal entrance, where Italian marble tiles, a striking chandelier, solid rimu doors, and a graceful curved rimu staircase set the tone for what lies beyond.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, complete with granite benchtops and splash backs, three ovens, and two cooktops. Bifold doors open seamlessly to a private tropical sanctuary featuring a solar-heated swimming pool - allowing you to entertain guests in style while keeping a watchful eye on children enjoying the water.
Upstairs, the generous formal living area offers outstanding versatility - currently set up as a media room - featuring a rimu bar, and a woodburner for cosy winter evenings. Step onto the balcony and take in sweeping views across the city, harbour, and Rangitoto, spectacular by day and magical by night.
The ground floor accommodates a separate living room opening to the poolside patio, two double bedrooms, a family bathroom, laundry, and even a semi self-contained one-bedroom granny flat with ensuite and TV nook. Adjacent is a large rumpus with slate floors, currently hosting a pool table, with external access - perfect for a home office, gym, or studio.
The upstairs master suite opens to a generous balcony overlooking the Waitākere Ranges - the perfect spot for morning coffee - and includes a walk-in wardrobe and a newly renovated luxury ensuite. A second upstairs bathroom has also been newly renovated and features a mirror with integrated Bluetooth speakers for a touch of modern indulgence.
Additional features include gas hot water, two heat pumps, two wood burners, and a charming fish pond with a bridge at the entrance. Exceptional parking and storage options include an internal access double garage, double carport, covered storage area, a separate external garage/workshop and superb off street parking - ideal for extended family, guests, or even a boat.
The location is incredible - nestled within the Waitakere Ranges and surrounded by bush walks and 15 minutes to Bethell's Beach, yet offering an easy commute to the CBD. Motorway access is approximately 10 minutes away (off-peak), while a convenient walking path connects you directly to Swanson's cafes, shops and train station.
