Viewing subject to Level 3 restrictions.
This exceptional property is a rare find in Auckland, let alone Mission Bay. A large family home spread over five levels cascades down the hillside and merges into the 1,223m2 section as if the land was designed for it. The setting of this immaculately presented home epitomises New Zealand life and the close proximity of our wonderful native bush. The current owners have extensively re-landscaped the property planting more than 250 native plants and trees and adding multiple new outdoor spaces which allow you to relax and follow the sun throughout the day. Stepping through the front door, you can take your time whilst you amble down the stairs level by level with layers of surprises, the first being the entranceway with internal access to the double garage. On the second level there are two double bedrooms that share a bathroom. Doors may be used to close this area off from level three where you will find the large lofty master bedroom, ensuite and walk in wardrobe.
Level three consists of an open plan kitchen, dining area and informal lounge which opens out onto a north facing deck. When the sun finally sets for the day, step down to the tv room where a cosy fireplace awaits to warm the coldest of winter nights, and look down to the illuminated lawn and trees below. As if all of this isn't enough, there is yet another secret to unveil. Down the stairs to level 5 you find a family room/study and another double bedroom with ensuite. This unique area can be accessed directly from the driveway and with its own deck could be used for extended family, a separate business location, work from home scenario or Airbnb. St Thomas's School and Selwyn College are within a short walk or drive, as are local eateries, shops and multiple transport options into the CBD. Auckland's popular Mission Bay, Kohimarama and St Heliers beaches are all within easy commute with water sport activities, boardwalks, bars, restaurants and a cinema amongst the various activities to enjoy.
