If you’ve been searching for that rare balance between a peaceful nature retreat and a healthy coastal lifestyle, this Rothesay Bay sanctuary is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Tucked away in a private, lush setting where the melodic sound of birdsong rings out, this beautifully maintained four bedroom family home offers a sense of serenity that’s hard to find so close to all amenities. It is the ultimate "best of both worlds" scenario: a home that feels like a hidden bush escape, yet sits within an easy walk of the beach, local cafes, and some of the most prestigious schools in the country, including the highly coveted Rangitoto College.
Designed specifically for the flow of a busy modern family, the home is spread over three levels to ensure everyone has their own space. The middle level serves as the social heart of the house, featuring a modern kitchen and formal dining area that spills out effortlessly to the outdoors, perfect for those long summer BBQs and evening drinks. For those quieter moments, the separate lounge opens onto its own balcony, offering a tranquil spot to enjoy a morning coffee before the daily school run begins. The master and second bedroom are also conveniently situated on this level, sharing a semi ensuite for ease of living.
One of the standout features for families with older children is the thoughtful separation offered on the top floor. Here, you’ll find two more generous bedrooms, a full family bathroom, and a dedicated study nook providing a quiet "adult free" zone for teenagers to focus on their schoolwork or simply relax. Practicality hasn’t been overlooked either; the ground floor houses a double garage with internal access and the laundry, while additional off-street parking provides that "icing on the cake" for a multi-vehicle household.
Perhaps the greatest gift this property offers is time. Set on a 623m² (more or less) freehold title, the grounds have been tastefully landscaped into easy care, bush clad spaces. By effectively throwing away the lawnmower, you reclaim your weekends to explore the nearby coastal trails or head down to the sand. For families who want their children to walk to top tier schools including Browns Bay and Murrays Bay Primary Schools, Murrays Bay and Northcross Intermediates, and Rangitoto College this home has everything you need and more in one of Auckland's most sought-after pockets.
