Positioned on the Orakei Basin ridgeline to capture the panoramic views across the water, this west-facing family home on 1319m2 pairs wonderful privacy with quality design to create a harmonious living experience.

Built in the 1960s, it has been carefully renovated for modern life, combining the enduring style of its mid-century heritage with contemporary comforts. Its impeccable orientation along the length of the site ensures all living spaces and bedrooms open to generous decks, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out while framing sweeping outlooks across Orakei Basin, Auckland Harbour and the city skyline.

Through the secure gates and past the feature entrance, step directly into oversized family living where the eye is drawn to the spectacular vista through full length sliders opening to the balcony. The adjacent kitchen is both warm and contemporary with a chic Scandi-inspired style, flowing into the neighbouring sitting room for entertaining with ease.

Three bedrooms on this level include the large primary with dressing room and generous ensuite that complements the family bathroom.

On the lower level is a self-contained apartment with double bedroom, ensuite, a kitchenette, living space and its own private deck, offering perfect flexibility for teenagers, extended family, guests or an aupair.

Natural light is abundant throughout this property, creating beautiful sun-kissed spaces both inside and across the landscaped gardens complete with established plantings.

In addition to off street parking, two double garages provide serious storage and practicality, including a double internal access garage with direct flow to the kitchen, plus a second double garage with access to the apartment level.

Close to the Orakei Basin nature walks, Orakei Bay Village and the train station, you can also walk to the Benson Road shops for coffee at Knead, lunch at Beno and dinner at Morrell. A well-appointed family home in a sought after Auckland location, early viewing is recommended.

Open homes Sat/Sun 1-1:30 pm or by appointment.
