10 Okahu Street, Orakei, Auckland City, Auckland Grand architectural waterfront showpiece

Experience the genius of renowned architect Ron Sang in an enormous updated contemporary residence that achieves perfect harmony with its magnificent front-row beach setting. You will find this grand showpiece in one of Aucklands most prestigious and expensive seaside streets. The bottom and middle levels are built by solid concrete whereas the top level is solid plaster with cavity.

Voluminous airy north-facing spaces take in the vibrancy of the bay and beyond, the never-ending action along the sea channel of the Waitemata Harbour to Devonport and Gulf Harbour. Set wide across three levels, all with sea views on a 1246m2 corner site, the nearly 600m2 home offers multiple living areas and five ensuite bedrooms, two more guest bathrooms (with underfloor heating) plus large multi-functional rooms for work, entertaining and play.

A restrained colour palette, with natural timber floors, substantial round skylights and large floor to ceiling glass sliders opening outdoors emphasise the generous proportions to ensure an elegant, comfortable, and relaxing place to raise a family and entertain. Even the kitchen, fully updated with the finest concrete benchtops, gleaming cabinetry, and top appliances (Falcon oven, Miele fridge/freezer), enjoys the magical outlook. Family and formal living (both with gas fires) are on entry level. Most bedrooms are upstairs and a substantial party area with space for a gym/home theatre plus guest suite on the lower level opens to a beautiful private easily maintained landscaped garden. Imagine yourself luxuriating in the spa pool, gazing across at cruise ships plying the harbour. Or wandering down to the beach promenade, taking the children to the playground at Orakei Domain or Kelly Tarltons Aquarium.

This is the lifestyle you have always dreamed about – so close to the CBD and private schools. The home comes with top security, a three-car internal garage and ample secure off-street parking. Live the dream.
