89A Bleakhouse Road, Howick, Manukau City, Auckland, 2014, New Zealand
Resembling the crisp clean lines of postmodern architecture, this beautifully designed home blends harmoniously into its natural environment with a strong influence of Frank Lloyd Wright American architecture.
Floating high above the rooftops with the valley below, the commanding elevated position looks directly out to Auckland’s iconic Islands, Rangitoto and Waiheke, across to the Coromandel, and straight out to the path of America’s Cup race.
Three floors encompass 6 large bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, multiple living spaces, 2 kitchens, and extensive patio and outdoor terraces. The home has been purposely built to either accommodate one large family or use the house as 2 apartments for extended family living.
The low maintenance grounds and quality materials used for the build means a lock up and leave scenario for the busy executive family commuting between houses or wanting more time to spend on recreational activities.
The kitchen is undoubtedly one of the most desirable and functional kitchens I have witnessed in my real estate career. The separate oversized scullery/butlers pantry is ideal for catering and professional cooks wanting space for preparation and storage will be delighted with the spaces. Splashed in marble and finished with top of the line appliances, once viewed you will appreciate what I am trying to explain.
Set back from the road, the wide driveway is planted on either side with an array of colour plantings where the hydrangeas are coming into full bloom. There is plenty of room for parking and the turning of vehicles plus room for a boat and trailer.
Minutes from popular beaches and top quality schooling, homes of this nature are highly sought after.
