Property details

Listing # 1341694 | Listed on 3 February

Wake each day to uninterrupted views across Browns Bay Beach, the kind that instantly remind you why coastal living is so deeply coveted. From first light across the water to evenings as the bay softens into dusk, this architecturally resolved residence reflects the hallmark balance and proportion of Ian Burrow's work, securing a true front-row position to one of the North Shore’s most cherished coastlines.

Securely gated and thoughtfully conceived, the home balances architectural confidence with effortless, low-maintenance living. A cohesive material palette establishes a sense of calm and continuity throughout. Marble flooring extends through the entranceway, tiled stairwell, kitchen, bathrooms, kitchenette and separate laundry, anchoring the design from arrival through to everyday living, while newly laid carpet introduces warmth and softness to the rest of the home.

Expansive glazing and sea-facing balconies frame the outlook from multiple vantage points, including the main lounge, dining and kitchen, and two bedrooms, one being the master suite, ensuring the view is not merely admired, but intentionally integrated into daily life.

The distinct living zones offer flexibility for entertaining, working from home or relaxed family living. Every project carried out by Ian Burrow Architects is approached with total dedication, guided by the aim of producing the best building possible, a philosophy clearly evident here. True to Ian Burrow's considered approach to form and function, the main lounge opens to a generous sea-facing balcony, while the rear entertaining area connects seamlessly to a beautifully landscaped, manicured garden, private, sheltered and designed to be enjoyed without the burden of upkeep.

Accommodation is well proportioned and quietly positioned. Four bedrooms are led by a master suite with ensuite and a commanding coastal outlook. Plantation shutters throughout provide privacy and light control, enhancing comfort across all seasons.
Functionality has been equally well considered. A double internal garage with additional storage and workshop space is complemented by excellent off-street parking, ideal for busy professionals, executives or families. Secure, efficient and easy to live in, the home supports modern lifestyles without compromise.

Held and cherished by the current owners for almost 25 years, the longevity of ownership speaks quietly to the quality of both the home and its setting, a place chosen not only for its architecture, but for the lifestyle it affords.

The location is exceptional. Just moments from the sand and a short stroll to the cafes, restaurants and boutiques of Browns Bay, daily life here is defined by ease and connection. Browns Bay is celebrated for its safe swimming beach, vibrant village atmosphere and strong community feel. The nearby Manly Esplanade coastal walkway links scenic headlands and bays, offering some of the North Shore's most picturesque walking routes, a favourite with locals at any time of day.

Architectural, secure and quietly luxurious, this is a residence where the view does the talking and once experienced, becomes impossible to give up.

Please contact Jo or Jenna to arrange a private viewing or we look forward to seeing you at the open home.
To be sold by auction at Bayleys Takapuna, 28 Northcroft Street, on 26th February 2026 at 1:30pm (unless sold prior).
