36 Paritai Drive, Orakei, Auckland City, Auckland

Along Auckland’s most desirable harbourside street where $20 million dollar plus homes abound, this highly prized, huge, elevated corner site is exceptional with majestic 270-degree city and harbour views.

Few homes are as private, peaceful and secure as this approx. 457sqm, five-bedroom sanctuary on a 1110sqm property with a sweeping lawn fringed by tall hedging and lush planting. A stunning panorama of city, sea and sky wraps around expansive living areas on two levels and most bedrooms open outdoors. The premium site affords an incredible feeling of openness, light and an intimate connection to nature.

Experience the foyer’s grandeur, where lighting concealed in ceiling cornices showcases an impressive double height stud. A curved staircase connects both floors. Each boasts expansive living, giving family options. Ground floor lounges and two bedrooms (one with ensuite & WIR) expand to a covered patio and manicured lawn – room for children to play and potential for a pool. Two separate guest wcs feature bidets.

Enormous sundrenched living upstairs puts you on top of the world enjoying mega views in every direction – from the CBD to Devonport, Rangitoto Island and down to Okahu Bay Beach. Bifolds open to a sheltered wraparound balcony that blurs the edges between indoors and out. Pass refreshments through bifolds from the large, well-equipped kitchen built around a central island.

The view of Rangitoto is magnificent from the enormous master suite incorporating a WIR and generous ensuite with spa pool. Two more bedrooms share a family bathroom and a third wc. A spacious storage room could be your wine cellar. There’s a full laundry, massive storage and room for a workshop in the double garage. Central air conditioning plus underfloor heating upstairs ensures year-round comfort.

Embrace Auckland’s beauty and the relaxed waterfront lifestyle in this quality family haven, five minutes to the CBD, handy to the yacht club, great beaches and top private schools.
