314A Hurstmere Road, Takapuna, North Shore City, Auckland, 0622, New Zealand

Located in the middle of the North Shores’ famed Golden mile 314A Hurstmere Road in Takapuna is perfectly positioned between lake and sea. The property offers direct access to the reserve and the lake via an easement on the fee-simple freehold title. The property is just across the road from Audrey Lane making access to the beach a very short walk via the 57 steps to the water. The property was built new just two years ago and is constructed of solid masonry (concrete block) that has been rendered, this will give purchasers confidence knowing the construction is of permanent materials.

There are three bedrooms in total with two of these on the lower floor designed for guests, family members or extended family with good separation and privacy. On this floor, you have a large family bathroom with underfloor heating plus your own private lounge to retreat to or a choice of different entertaining spaces. There is a lift on this lower level providing easy access to the living upstairs and a very generous double garage. The house is located at street level, making easy access for walking and for doing those jobs, like putting your recycling bin out ‘this is a real positive for the downsizer market.’ Also a bonus of the street-front, it benefits from exceptional morning sun in the East, showering the front courtyard and upstairs voided hallway area – superb. There are electronic gates from the street and your own private security gate protecting and secluding the property.

On entry inside you have a nice industrial stairwell that leads you to the living level and master bedroom. This floor is dominated by an expansive master suite, with a hotel-like walk-through ensuite with dual basins and a large walk-in wardrobe. Beyond this is the main living area which is open-plan, spanning the whole width of the property. This flows out to a generously enclosed deck with a Louvre system that provides an exceptional alfresco space to entertain and enjoy the strong lake views.

As mentioned, wide lake views and stunning afternoon sun are enjoyed from this level, particularly from the balcony. There are drop-down shades protecting you from the wind and the afternoon sun, a brilliant feature. Quality fixtures and fittings include a Matisse kitchen with dual ovens one steam and one conventional, a large integrated double fridge freezer, a Zenith filtered and sparkling water system, Dekton benchtops, 2x heat pumps and American Oak timber flooring which has underfloor heating.
