17 Cobblestone Lane, Hillcrest, North Shore City, Auckland

Designed by one of New Zealand's greatest multi-award-winning architects, the late Ron Sang, this architectural masterpiece is a rare opportunity to own a true icon. Built in the 1980s and held by the same family for 23 years, 17 Cobblestone Lane epitomises timeless design, seamlessly blending space, light, and nature.

Step through the symbolic oversized red front door, a signature of Sang's work, and be captivated by the soaring timber-panelled ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a breathtaking architectural lantern skylight at the heart of the home. The clever placement of windows ensures the home remains bathed in natural light while maintaining complete privacy from neighbours.

Spanning 360m², the thoughtfully designed interior features four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and two generous lounges that offer flexible living and entertaining spaces. A sun-drenched sunroom provides a perfect retreat, while three fireplaces add warmth and ambience. One of the home's most striking features is the cantilevered glass floor, offering connection to the natural surroundings below.

Set on an 845m² landscaped section, the stunning Japanese-inspired gardens enhance the home's tranquil atmosphere. The boardwalk meanders through the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, another hallmark of Ron Sang's visionary design. Wide hallways add to the sense of space, while a double garage and ample off-street parking provide practicality without compromising the home's aesthetic.

Located in sought-after Hillcrest, this home offers easy access to Smales Farm, Wairau Valley Shopping District, and Takapuna's vibrant dining and retail scene. Excellent public transport and motorway links ensure a convenient commute, while the property is also zoned for top-rated schools.

Homes of this calibre in such a prime location are rarely available.
