40 Tutanekai Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland City, Auckland

Experience unexpected and unparalleled urban living. The charming, traditional bungalow exterior hides a luxurious European-inspired sanctuary, magnificently transformed in recent years by the current owners—an award-winning interior designer.

Step into the lofty hallway with soaring stud height and you are transported to Byron Bay or a Balinese resort. This is not your average renovation but a masterclass in exquisite design where ornate bungalow features are meticulously blended with contemporary elements.

The rear living domain atop oak herringbone flooring is an entertainer’s dream, with a stunning kitchen featuring marble benchtops and premium brand new appliances, while the lounge looks out towards the sprawling backyard and north facing deck.

Completely re-landscaped and spread over multiple gentle levels, the outdoor oasis is a sight to behold with a Sky Tower vista, gorgeous pool and thoughtful plantings. There are also plans available to extend the rear of the home with a large central living pavilion, an extra bedroom, new kitchen, office and living area.

New Italian limestone tiled flooring with underfloor heating sits underfoot in all three spacious bedrooms, including the private master sanctuary with walk-in robe and spa-like ensuite to complement the exceptionally appointed family bathroom. Retreat from the hustle and bustle of the house into the TV room, a cosy reprieve with its striking dark moody walls.

The location is second to none, where the West Lynn shops and Richmond Road cafes are both nearby, Grey Lynn Park is at the end of the street, and Cox’s Bay, local supermarkets, yoga studios and local schools are a short walk away. If you're looking for a life less ordinary, don't delay viewing.
