3 Masons Avenue, Herne Bay, Auckland City, Auckland

Open the front door to this elegant traditional villa and discover an undeniably seductive family entertainer on one of Herne Bay’s most exclusive northern slopes avenues.

Reimagining quietly luxurious living, make your way along the grand hallway atop lush oak floors to the vast and glorious open plan rear masterpiece. The arrestingly bold designer kitchen is a contrast in warm dark timber and beautiful sleek marble, sporting exquisite fittings, high end appliances and a masterfully appointed scullery.

Natural light bathes the entire space from the multiple floor to ceiling sliders that open the whole domain to the exterior hosting zone. This north-facing decked terrace is a private oasis wrapping around three sides of the home and encompassing a dedicated al fresco dining area with all-weather LouvreTec roof and classic verandah overlooking the impressive 15m swimming pool and significant flat lawn for games.

Intimate gatherings can be enjoyed in the second sitting room, inviting movie nights with the children, or grab a bottle of your favourite from the wine cellar and relax with friends.

Three super-sized double bedrooms are well catered to by the large family bathroom, while the substantial primary suite is an exercise in superb relaxation and style with its walk in robe and opulent ensuite.

An additional loft room makes the perfect rumpus, third lounge, office or music room, and the home also comes with secure double garaging.

Masons Avenue flows down to Herne Bay Beach for summer picnics, while highly regarded Bayfield School is just around the corner. Drop the kids off and grab a morning coffee from your favourite local café, and on weekends enjoy a delightful dinner at Andiamo. The ultimate family lifestyler.
