135 Beach Road, Castor Bay, Auckland

This stunning designer home was custom-built for the owners in 2014 and is situated in a quiet enclave of homes. It offers an elevated rear site which is cleverly nestled into the eastern slopes of Kennedy Park.

The home is constructed of concrete block and cedar weatherboards and features a striking glass curtain wall bringing in lovely natural light. This overlooks the pétanque court to the Northwest as well as benefitting from sea views across Kennedy Park and the two-gun emplacements. The layout is very suitable for most families or downsizing couples (like our owners) thanks to the thoughtful design of a lift for each level.

Layout-wise, the home offers popular a ground-floor living area, which is an open-plan space combining a generous lounge, dining and kitchen. Off the kitchen is a walk-in scullery with plenty of storage and a large stainless bench, plus there is a separate laundry and guest powder room neatly tucked from view.

A double-height void and feature curved American Ash staircase leads to the mid-level where there are four bedrooms including the master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. There is also a nice main bathroom to service the remaining bedrooms. The third level is spectacular and is dedicated to an additional living area, bar and generous decking. Superb views are taken in from this space including sea and park views.

In addition, as mentioned above, the home offers a lift that accesses all three levels, plus multiple heat pumps and an electric fireplace for year-round comfort.

There is a covered parking space and additional parking for at least two more vehicles. The property is fully fenced and has an electric driveway gate to completely secure the property. A large garden shed provides excellent storage.

The home is exceptionally well presented and offers excellent privacy combined with modern low-maintenance living and a fantastic location with Castor Bay Beach and top local schools nearby.
