Immersed in its natural surrounds, this sensitively modernised mid-century home rises into the Mt Pleasant hillside, gaining sweeping views and a sheltered outdoor lifestyle shaped by sun, privacy and a warm microclimate.

Arranged across three levels, the home is generous in both scale and flexibility, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a laundry and three distinct living areas. Warm and north-facing, each level opens outdoors to its own deck, giving every space its own moment in the landscape.

With the hillside providing natural shelter from the easterly, the outdoor areas are calm, warm and remarkably productive- ideal for anyone with a green thumb.

Quintessential traits of the era remain, from split-level living to beautiful rimu floors and timber beams tracing the sloped roofline. Cleverly placed windows capture private outlooks at every turn, while the lower level has been opened up with dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing to bring in light and maximise the view. Thoughtful upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms keep the home's character unmistakably intact.

At the home's highest point, a clean-lined kitchen takes in a tree-top perspective, linking with the dining zone and opening to an entertaining terrace where a statement pergola frames the city and alpine views.

On the mid-level, the lounge is defined by sweeps of glazing and a signature timber-lined ceiling, with a balcony extending the space and keeping the panorama in constant view.
Downstairs, a third living zone, currently arranged as an office, opens to a protected terrace, continuing the home's effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

One of the two bathrooms pushes firmly into wellness territory, centred around an integrated sauna that turns daily routines into an everyday escape.

Solar infrastructure supports energy efficiency, while outside, 1,563sqm of terraced gardens deliver their own brand of self-sufficiency, with fruit trees, vegetable beds and a glasshouse for year-round growing. A detached double garage completes the picture with practicality to match the lifestyle.

In addition to zoning for Mt Pleasant School, the setting offers the best of both worlds, with a 15-minute link to the CBD and an even shorter run to Sumner Beach.

As the owners turn their focus to life in the country, their plans now set the pace, with offers invited on or before auction day.
