Offering over an acre of land and an architectural timepiece, this can only be described as one of Auckland’s most unique properties.
Designed by the renowned Architect Sir Ian Athfield who was known for his unconventional and playful style. This property was built for the Cole family in 1975 and features bottle towers and port holes, combined with varying ceiling heights and levels to create an utterly unique home.
The cedar weatherboard and rendered concrete home has a new shingle roof and the current owners have carried out significant improvements to the property replacing cedar joinery and double glazing.
Situated essentially on its own bush reserve, the property offers the ultimate resort-style living in complete privacy. A wide walk bridge crosses a stream that leads you to the home and front entrance. Once inside, the property offers a multitude of living areas and sunken conversation pits which open to decks, patios and the bush.
The property offers a total of five double bedrooms plus there is also a selection of smaller rooms which could be used as kids’ breakout spaces or bedrooms if required. In addition, there are two main living areas for families being formal and informal spaces off the kitchen, plus an elevated mezzanine which is a great work-from-home office above the western lounge.
To the rear of the property is the heated swimming pool area with a spa, the perfect space to relax and entertain. Surrounded by a lawn area and schist paths to explore the property.
There is a double carport and a double garage which was built for the purpose of a boat with a high garage door. A semi-self-contained studio or fifth bedroom with a kitchenette and ensuite above the garage is a great feature for guests or teenagers.
A short walk to the beach and in zone for top schools, both Westlake girls and boys, Rangitoto College, Murrays Bay Intermediate, Mairangi Bay and Campbells Bay Primary.
