11 Glanville Terrace, Parnell, Auckland City, Auckland

This architecturally designed Sumich Chaplin residence is securely positioned on a 688m2 sunlit sanctuary, offering a premier lock-up lifestyle in Parnell.

There is an international standard of quality and craftsmanship imparted throughout this home. The soaring foyer introduces a light-flooded interior of impressive dimensions, complete with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, formal and causal living, and a timeless expanse of spaces to recharge or entertain.

From the intimacy of the formal lounge to the social ambience of the loggia featuring a woodfire in the rear courtyard perfect for morning coffee, every space has an individual allure.

Multiple doors from the living area and gallery-like hall allow a seamless transition outdoors, creating an extraordinary guest/host experience when entertaining. The sky-high pavilion ceiling that suspends over the living encased with window shutters is a masterstroke in design. Integrated with the timeless state-of-the-art kitchen, these spaces exemplify the 'wow factor'.

Trimmed gardens evoke a natural formality and feature evening lighting, and like a pure oasis, the lapis-lazuli-hued pool invites freshwater swimming with its Enviroswim purification system.

There are a few luxuries to embrace: built-in audio, the presence of Oak, Terrazzo stone, an open gas fireplace in the formal lounge, a wine fridge, high-tech security, underfloor heating downstairs and in bathrooms, and internal access double garaging with extensive storage and off-street parking.

The bedrooms are restful spaces boasting large wardrobing and shutters for privacy; still, the master suite is the pinnacle of comfort with a deluxe ensuite hosting a bathtub, a walk-through closet, and a balcony waking to elevated vistas of Hobson Bay.

It's mere moments to the cafes, cuisines, shopping precincts of Newmarket and Parnell Village, beautiful eastern beaches, and the CBD. Sought-after school zoning includes Parnell School, Epsom Girls Grammar and Auckland Grammar.

11 Glanville will appeal to busy homeowners who place significant value on low-maintenance luxury living and an exclusive city-side position with good privacy and peace.
