20 Marine Parade, Mellons Bay, Manukau City, Auckland

Set on a generous 1181m2 section, on highly desirable Marine Parade, is this rare opportunity to own an exceptional primary residence, with splendid views over Howick Beach, plus a quaint minor dwelling located above the triple car garaging. Falling within the catchment of the Macleans College zone, your family will benefit not only from a great education but will also love the fact that you are just metres from the beach. This stand-out property offers a harmonious composition of innovative design and traditional architecture, boasting high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a relaxed, easy floorplan. A well-appointed, modern kitchen, featuring stone benchtops and a convenient central island, connects seamlessly to the oversized living areas that offer a semi separate dining room and gorgeous sunken lounge, where walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. An outdoor oasis beckons with its fabulous timber decks that overlook an inviting spa pool, in-ground pool and lush gardens – creating the perfect backdrop for year-round entertainment. Enjoying total separation on the upper level, with fabulous views of the water, sits a luxurious master suite, with its own private lounge and balcony, large walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite. Two additional, sizable bedrooms, plus a third living area/fourth bedroom, are located on the ground floor - all opening effortlessly to the outdoors. The family bathroom, powder room and laundry are also features of the lower level.

At the rear of the section, placed above the triple car garaging and office/gym, sits a desirable, two-bedroom residence with open plan living areas, a bathroom and sunny balcony. Offering ideal extended family accommodation, or rental income if preferred. Key to the success of the dwellings is the interplay between old and new, where thoughtful design and desirable features deliver two relaxed, calm, and contemporary homes that engage with the outdoors, providing immense flexibility and comfort for those in residence. The options offered by this outstanding property are numerous, including the possibility of sub-dividing the two homes if required.
