Certain to impress even the most discerning of buyers and on the market for the first time in more than 40 years is this impeccable lakefront property designed by architect Peter Barry-Martin. Situated just off the Golden Mile, the property offers a coveted Lakefront position on a full private 842m2 site. This cherished family home enjoys privacy, light, lake views from almost every room and remarkably close direct lake access. The house is well positioned for the sun with expansive northwest-facing living ensuring a constant light-filled living experience, sheltered from Auckland’s prevailing Easterly and South Westerly winds.
Unique for this location is level access to the home from the private ROW. This allows the owners to live entirely on one level if they choose. Stepping inside a generous entry foyer with 360-degree clerestory windows it evokes a feeling of Frank Lloyd Wright. It has a character and warmth seldom found with new build homes of today. Built just before the 1970s, the property has been successively modernised with major upgrades that include the replacement of original cedar cladding with new cedar in 2010, new roof and a fully ducted heating system converted to a high-capacity reverse cycle air conditioning serving both levels.
Four double bedrooms and three bathrooms include a master with superb lake views and ensuite. The modern galley kitchen connects to open plan dining and lounge spaces, flowing to generous decking fronting the lake and overlooks its own 10-metre tile floored concrete swimming pool.
Leading to the private outdoor living space to the North is a second sitting/family area that is bathed in natural sunlight.
On the lower floor are two bedrooms a large downstairs living area also with lake views and offering entertaining separation plus a separate office and storage room.
A three-car internal access garage, external access storage shed for tools and a boat shelter for water toys complete this highly desirable home.
This cleverly designed property will appeal to professional couples and families of all ages who will appreciate this special lake edge location.
