Perched atop one of St Heliers' most elevated positions, this extraordinary architectural residence is a masterclass in restrained luxury - where calming design, panoramic water views, and resort-style living exist in perfect alignment. Conceived as a private sanctuary and crafted as a forever home to maximise the enjoyment of zen, water and luxury - every detail intentionally curated to heighten your senses and enhance our connection to nature.
Influenced by the timeless principles of Japanese Wabi-Sabi (perfection in balance) philosophy expressed through outstanding local craftsmanship , this labour of love combines sculptural lines, natural timbers and serene neutral palettes over an approximately 374sqm internal floor area. Boasting 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms (5 ensuites), 4 living areas all connected with a custom lift system, and even a spectacular 'sky lounge and office' attic space throughout an ingenious and generous floorplan, this luxury residence doubles as both a trophy family home and multi-generational, low-maintenance wonderland.
A celebration of the best of Kiwi outdoor living, its expansive open-plan living areas flow seamlessly to sun-drenched entertaining areas through an iconic, sunflow gas heated underfloor heating, custom spiral staircase onto your very own solar-heated swimming pool and louvred cabana retreat. On the days one prefers to stay indoors, breathtaking northern outlooks stretching across the water to Rangitoto Island can be enjoyed in your sun-drenched living, master and sky lounge in equal measure. Our owners' design brief also ensured that NZ artists featured centre stage with custom made local bathware and designer Snelling Studio lighting that add that x-factor aesthetic. With sustainability in mind, solar energy has also been installed.
And at the crown of the home lies its most captivating space - a spectacular sky lounge and office sanctuary unlike anything else on the market. Wrapped in tranquillity and elevated above the coastline, this bespoke retreat currently features traditional Japanese tatami seating and has been designed as a place to pause, reflect, work, meditate, or simply absorb the ever-changing coastal panorama - a space that transforms the feeling of the home from luxurious to unforgettable.
Located within one of Auckland's most coveted coastal enclaves, there's a reason why many choose St Heliers as a forever locale and never quite leave. Besides its effortless connection to nature and waterfront hospitality, it is one of the rare pockets that still boasts a sense of the good-old Kiwi coastal community spirit. In zone for great schooling and easy access to the beach, Glen Atkinson Street is also home to some of the bays' most prestigious properties and is an address both tightly held and strongly desired.
