Live the waterfront lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of, just minutes from the CBD yet feeling worlds away, where every day feels like an escape in your own piece of calm. Set within one of Auckland’s most tightly held coastal communities on 833sqm Freehold, this beautifully renovated, circa-1910 character home rich in history delivers a rare combination of timeless elegance, modern comfort, and absolute waterfront living.

Elevated above the inner harbour and west‑facing, the home enjoys uninterrupted water views and breathtaking sunsets. Direct garden access to the harbour invites kayaking, paddleboarding, or refreshing swims, while cyclone‑resistant soil anchors installed in 2022 provide confidence and peace of mind.

Inside, original character features have been thoughtfully preserved and enhanced by contemporary design. Polished timber floors, soft neutral tones, skylights, and expansive glazing bathe the home in natural light and frame the ever‑changing harbour outlook. The expansive open‑plan living area spans the width of the home, with French doors opening to a sun‑drenched veranda, perfect for entertaining or relaxing while taking in panoramic sea views across the flat lawn below. The contemporary kitchen features integrated appliances, induction cooking, generous storage, and connects effortlessly to the dining and living rooms. A striking double‑sided gas fireplace along with a traditional log fire adds warmth and ambience.

Accommodation is arranged across three levels, offering flexibility for families or guests. Five bedrooms include a master suite with garden access and a guest bedroom with a fireplace and ensuite on the entry level. Two well-appointed bathrooms, a separate laundry and an attractive versatile garden studio or work from home space provide both comfort and practicality.

The landscaped grounds are framed by established plantings, with intimate outdoor living areas and a stunning private viewing deck perfectly positioned to enjoy the afternoon sun and spectacular sunsets. Additional features include generous attic storage, a 200-bottle wine cellar, double carport plus off-street parking, under-house storage, and a workshop.

Located close to the iconic Northcote Tavern and within easy walking distance of cafes, restaurants, a boutique cinema, parks and the Northcote Point ferry, this exceptional home offers peaceful seclusion, outstanding convenience, and a rare connection to the sea.
