32 Seaview Avenue, Northcote, North Shore City, Auckland, 0627, New Zealand

This 4-bedroom split-level home in one of Northcote’s most tightly held streets has breath-taking views over Le Roys Bush and the harbour, giving spectacular morning sunrises, warm sunny days and drama as the city lights up at night.

The home’s mid-century modern architecture features raked ceilings, a brick and shiplap exterior, blonded matai floors, Parisian shutters and floor-to-ceiling windows – a recent elegant renovation has enhanced each feature with luxurious modern touches.

Its green-fingered owners love to cook and entertain, so have installed an extra-long island bench, Master-Chef level Gaggenau appliances and adjoining open-plan living complete with a fantastic gas fireplace.

Slide open the stacker doors to the large sunny deck, nip down to the potager garden, or relax on the afternoon patio as wood pigeons alight in the kowhai tree.

Downstairs is a cosy, carpeted bedroom level with main and guest bedrooms, designer bathroom, laundry and plenty of storage space.

On its inviting entrance level is a fabulous powder room and fourth bedroom or quiet office space opening onto the afternoon patio, giving separate access for clients if needed. Also completing this level is an internal access garage (and off-street parking for several more cars).

Seaview has access to Le Roys Bush and Little Shoal Bay, and though it’s conveniently close to bus routes to the city, Highbury shops and Birkenhead cafes, you’ll feel as though you’re in a private paradise. A rare opportunity – inspect ASAP!
