Designed in 1964 by Warwick Wright, this mid-century home offers a truly timeless design and a remarkable statement in architecture. Purely bespoke and incomparable, this rare collectible art piece will excite mid-century and architectural enthusiasts. Its enduring lines will captivate you and its abundant period features will steal your heart.
Greeted by a four metre tall foyer, large expansions of glass exploit the impressive views looking out across the Waitemata Harbour, Auckland City’s Skyline and beyond. It is an entrance which is impressive, dramatic, and mood inspiring. It creates a light filled gallery like space, and lends itself perfectly for showcasing art, sculptures or other such artistic collections.
Split level design creates a playful layout and one which offers thoughtful spaces to maximise functionality and privacy. Open plan living features floor to ceiling glass with the stunning open fire perfectly positioned for ambience during the cooler months. The kitchen is of good proportions with the perfectly placed separate laundry offering additional scope to set up a scullery. All three bedrooms enjoy their own unique view, and the office awaits those who work from home or require an additional hobby room. Extensive decks surround and wrap the home to enjoy the north and west elevations, with the built in sunken seated area paying homage to this iconic and influential era of architecture.
The grounds of the property are enchanting and magical. There is incredible potential to transform the gardens into something truly special. There are two large Japanese inspired water features/koi ponds, a hallmark feature of Japanese gardens which symbolise tranquillity and good fortune. The large land parcel provides privacy where it counts and the perfect combination of native bush, domineering Kauri plus lawned areas.
Presenting in near original condition, opportunity for the enthusiastic awaits. Those with a vision will either restore it back to its original glory or complete a sympathetic renovation.
