38B Waimarie Street, St Heliers, Auckland City, Auckland

Rebuilt by fastidious English owners from the ground up 8 years ago, this high-quality executive/family home has been luxuriously upspecced. Uncompromising detail and clever tech gagdgetry (many functions can be remotely controlled by phone) make life in a great seaside address relaxed and enjoyable.

Built with a concrete block base, the north-facing home is clad in weatherboard. Ducted temperature-controlled air conditioning was installed with high grade insulation and a new roof added. Easy-clean German designed UPVC pan & tilt windows prevent condensation keeping it warm and dry. CCTV cameras ensure excellent security.

To meet the demands of a professional chef, an oversized social kitchen is the heart of the home. It wraps around a huge island with masses of hidden storage and many thoughtful features - like the heated towel rail. At one end of the dining/lounge area, a gin & tonic deck treats to the last of the evening sun. At the other, a substantial entertainer's terrace with louvred roof provides an expanse of sunny secluded outdoor living. The property is relaxing by day but at night, David Trubridge feature lighting is bedazzling. Beautiful exterior lighting panels create an enticing ambience outdoors while an Astro-turf lawn, big enough for a pool or trampoline, requires no maintenance.

The master bedroom + en suite is on the main living level and 3 bedrooms plus a second bathroom below. The carpeted double internal garage accommodates a spacious laundry and more storage.

By Waimarie shops, a stroll from St Heliers beach & shops, in zone for Churchill Park Primary & Glendowie College. Architectural plans are available outlining extension potential including provision for a pool. Live your best life where compromise doesn't exist!
