Prime position, newly renovated, sunlight and outlook are almost impossible to replicate, and this exceptional Herne Bay home delivers all four.

Elevated on the coveted northern slopes and looking west towards the sea, the extensively renovated residence is filled with natural light and warmth, creating a wonderful sense of openness. Sentinel Beach is approximately 100 metres away, Point Erin Pools are within easy reach, and the cafes, restaurants and boutiques of Jervois Road are just moments from home. Equally, it could be the ideal lock-up-and-leave Auckland base - a beautifully finished city home to return to, whether from the bach, weekends away or further afield.

Comprehensively renovated for effortless modern living, the property combines new interiors, kitchen and bathrooms with weatherboard, cedar and schist construction and double glazing throughout. The result is a refined, turnkey home in one of Auckland's most tightly held neighbourhoods.

Three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms offer excellent flexibility for families, professional couples and downsizers, with the option of a dedicated guest bedroom or home office. The elevated master suite includes an ensuite and captures an outstanding outlook across Herne Bay towards the water.

Designed to follow the sun, the home features multiple outdoor living areas. Its north-west orientation brings warmth and light inside, while the west-facing deck provides an enviable setting for entertaining, evening drinks and spectacular summer sunsets. At the rear, a private courtyard and outdoor shower are perfect after a swim at Sentinel Beach or Point Erin Pools.

A large double garage, generous storage and separate laundry add the practical qualities that are so difficult to find in this location.
