Well-established within 1419m2 (approx) parklike grounds in the heart of Mission Bay, this gracious freehold brick manor house with panoramic harbour views is a pristine family home. A significant floor area of 445m2 (approx) extends over two levels of gracious living with 5 bedrooms served by 2 bathrooms and 2 powder rooms.
Refined elegance prevails throughout the ground floor with a formal sitting room and casual living room both enjoying uninterrupted views through bi-fold doors across the terrace and lawns to the dazzling Waitemata Harbour waters and Rangitoto Island. Ample room for executive entertaining, garden parties for a large guest list or intimate dinners in the formal dining room combine with a fresh welcoming vibe for casual family life. The superbly appointed caterer's kitchen with spacious pantry is flanked by a lovely sunny family room with dining area. A Hollywood staircase leads to the upper floor where a minstrel's gallery creates height and light. Here generous bedrooms are to be found, the master including an ensuite with sunken bath. Above the double garage a room with a small kitchenette could serve duty as a home office or guest annexe.
Sweep into the driveway through wrought iron gates to a sizable double garage with plenty of onsite and offsite parking.

An easy commute to the CBD, desirably zoned for Kohimarama School and close to renowned private schools, this iconic dress circle home with so much potential is a rare treat for discerning buyers.
