12 Parkside Street, St Heliers, Auckland City, Auckland

First time on the market, this substantial family home, designed by renowned architect, Brian Cullen, and built for the current owner in 2003, offers a superb family lifestyle in one of St Heliers most sought after streets.

Sitting in an exclusive ROW position behind secure gates, this large 1000 sq m site offers a perfect blend of privacy, sun and fabulous outdoor entertaining. A gorgeous solar heated swimming pool surrounded by lush vegetation, a tiger turf lawn and a traditional cedar sauna complete this private level garden accessed via a covered patio from the family living area.

This spacious home provides ample space for the whole family to embrace the St Heliers lifestyle. As you step into the grand foyer you are led to the large open plan kitchen, dining and living areas which open out to the main garden. Through double doors there is separate access to the large formal dining and lounge/media room with gas fire and French doors to a courtyard patio.

Off the main entrance there is a convenient powder room, deck with views, a study, separate laundry with external access and a guest bedroom with ensuite.

Up the elegant curved staircase there are three spacious bedrooms and an open living room and family bathroom. The master room and living room flow on to a large balcony with city and harbour views. The perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine and the last of the sun.

The large three car garage with internal access is complimented by a shower room and 2 storage rooms, with parking space outside.

Having solid concrete floors with gas underfloor heating, this home is quiet and a pleasure to live in. The partial double glazing, DVS ventilation system and solar panels add to the comfort and efficiency of this special home. This is a rare find and constructing a home like this in today’s market would be extremely expensive.

The location is ideal - metres away from Dingle Dell reserve and a short stroll to St Heliers beach, St Heliers School and Glendowie College. This home is perfect for those seeking a high-quality family lifestyle.
