A private Mediterranean-inspired retreat with exceptional scale, character and an enviable waterfront setting. Beautifully presented and tucked away at the end of a private driveway, this remarkable property is one of Mount Wellington’s best-kept secrets. Set on approximately 1,174sqm of freehold land, it offers an extraordinary combination of space, privacy, established gardens and elevated views towards the Tamaki River.
The grand 333sqm (approx.) two-level residence has been thoughtfully renovated and refreshed, enhancing its comfort and functionality while preserving the warmth and character of its original timber architecture.
Inside, soaring raked timber ceilings, beautifully restored Rimu parquet flooring, natural slate and a distinctive sunken lounge create a home that is both sophisticated and full of personality.
At the centre of the home is a completely renovated designer kitchen, featuring solid timber cabinetry, Bosch appliances and a striking waterfall island. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated with quality fittings and Bluetooth-enabled mirrors, while new 100% wool carpeting adds warmth and luxury throughout the upper level.
The generous living and dining areas flow naturally outdoors to a series of patios and balconies, complemented by an exceptional 100sqm (approx.) rooftop deck. From this elevated entertaining space, enjoy expansive outlooks towards the Tamaki River—an especially beautiful setting for morning coffee, evening drinks or summer entertaining.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with four generous bedrooms. The privately positioned upper-level master suite features a walk-in wardrobe, beautifully appointed ensuite and direct balcony access, providing a peaceful retreat to begin and end the day.
Surrounding the home are mature, established gardens with a wonderful selection of fruit trees, including avocado, orange, peach, lemon, mandarin and banana. The grounds provide an abundance of space for children, pets, entertaining and relaxed family living.
A detached double garage is complemented by substantial off-street parking, providing excellent convenience for residents and guests alike.
Considerable investment has also been made in the property’s presentation and maintenance. Improvements include interior and exterior painting, roof maintenance, landscaping, upgraded lighting and window furnishings, and improvements to the garage, leaving the home beautifully refreshed and ready to enjoy.
Positioned moments from the Panmure Basin and its waterfront walkways, this private sanctuary combines a tranquil waterside environment with exceptional everyday convenience. Sylvia Park, public transport, schools and motorway connections are all within easy reach.
Properties offering this combination of land, scale, privacy, character and waterfront proximity are rarely available.
Unique, spacious and beautifully presented, this is a home with genuine presence—an exceptional Mount Wellington residence that needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated.
