Centrally located in the bays, this Allan Shanahan-designed property in a desirable neighbourhood is just a few steps down from high-decile Kohimarama School. Immensely appealing for families who dream of a tranquil lifestyle within walking distance of the beach, the idyllic 520 sqm (approx.) freehold property occupies a rear section neighbouring historic church grounds.
The 291 sqm (approx.) north-facing residence showcases Shanahan's signature design, blending timeless elegance with modern functionality for exceptional family living. Linear architecture is complemented by a selection of sophisticated whites, neutrals, and natural hues with bold eye-catching flourishes. Double front doors introduce a lofty reception foyer with a stairwell to an upper-floor walkway and easy flow to living areas. The formal lounge and dining room feature high arched ceilings, a cosy gas fireplace, sumptuous drapes, and bifold doors opening to wraparound open-air terraces. French doors connect to an adjoining family room-similarly arranged around a Louvre Tech-protected domain for alfresco entertaining-while a designer kitchen with a breakfast nook incorporates a sleek bar leaner, stainless steel benchtops and appliances, and timber cabinetry.
Designed with family functionality in mind, the split-level upstairs floor plan is centred on a galley-style study and second lounge with raked ceilings and a balcony, offering panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf, Coromandel, Browns Island, and the central cityscape. Four double bedrooms and three bathrooms include a master suite featuring a spacious ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, while the downstairs guest room has its own patio access. The tiled bathrooms are well-appointed, with one adjoined to the separate laundry for added convenience.
An internal access double garage, ample off-street parking, and a storage shed complete this splendid garden sanctuary, where clipped hedging, smooth lawns, and formal borders create a serene setting just a short walk to the tide. Great coffee awaits at nearby Kohi Beach Eatery, with Eastridge just up the hill for supermarket essentials.
