To build a waterfront home of this size and position today would be a very different exercise.
With a previous purchase price of $3.5m and a declared reserve below $2.6m, 52A Silverton Avenue is positioned as one of the most compelling opportunities in the wider Bays market.
Set above Wai O Taiki Bay, this is a home with more depth than the first impression gives away. The outlook is immediate, with views stretching across the water to Bucklands Beach and beyond. However, the real value is in the consideration that went into bringing the home to life. From the way the spaces connect, to the relationship between the house and the site, and the architecture and engineering required to make it all work.
It is a home that takes longer to understand and gives you more as you move through it.
Spanning 323m2, the home offers five bedrooms, with one currently used as an office, two bathrooms plus a powder room, double garaging and multiple living spaces. It is a layout with genuine flexibility for family living, entertaining, working from home and guests.
From the street, the home's clean gabled form gives it a distinct architectural look and feel. Inside, the spaces are warm and deliberate. Timber floors and carpet bring softness underfoot, while white walls, black detailing and substantial glazing keep the focus on the outlook. The central atrium adds volume through the heart of the home, creating a natural pause between spaces and another layer to the way the home is experienced. The living areas open to a choice of outdoor zones, with expansive water views captured throughout.
Moments from Glendowie, St Heliers and Sacred Heart College, the address preserves its private waterfront position while keeping the Eastern Bays close. Direct access to Wai O Taiki Nature Reserve, nearby parks, and the beaches, cafés and restaurants of St Heliers, Kohimarama and Mission Bay, all within easy reach. With the reserve declared below $2.6m, immediate inspection is encouraged.
FOUND: A waterfront position. A declared reserve. A one-of-one opportunity.
