6 The Terrace, Takapuna, North Shore City, Auckland, 0622, New Zealand

In an unbeatable central Takapuna location, this updated solid brick and cedar home is one of those rare opportunities that’s too good to miss. The terraced housing/apartment zoned property has a versatile layout that offers smart options for a family or business.

The home is a stone’s throw from the heart of the village, the lake and incredible beaches while Takapuna Primary School is just around the corner. Though it maximises accessibility to so many fantastic lifestyle amenities, it hides securely behind a tall fence and gates, making it a great lock up and leave solution.

From an attractively planted courtyard, spacious entry and double internal garage off the road, the home unfolds – up and down. Configure as home and guest quarters or keep it as one large home. Upstairs, two generous side by side living areas (with a separate powder room in between) capture gorgeous harbour views to Rangitoto Island. Elevated outdoor entertaining terraces on two aspects let you follow the sun. Part of the family living, a modern light-filled kitchen has a sweeping granite benchtop and a large walk-in scullery provides excellent storage.

Two spacious bedrooms on the next level up boast beautiful beamed timber ceilings. The master bedroom has an awesome sea view plus an ensuite with spa bath and a big walk-in wardrobe. Rain sensitive skylights in the ceiling are great for summer ventilation without compromising security. The second bedroom opens to its own deck.

Off the shared entry on the ground floor, a lockable door opens to the guest quarters. This two-bedroom space with walk-through dressing room, a second bathroom and gated offstreet parking includes yet another spacious open plan living area. A sheltered patio draws you out to an easy-care fully fenced garden laid in Eco lawn. You will never need to stress about moving lawns and the vegetable garden is ready for you to harvest.

Just walk in and enjoy this home with incredible options and make this the smartest move you will ever make.
