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.
