Architecturally designed by renowned architect Alan Shanahan, this beautifully appointed two-storey weatherboard residence delivers contemporary style, exceptional comfort and effortless low-maintenance living. Offering four bedrooms, the thoughtfully considered layout is perfectly suited to busy professionals, families and those seeking a lock-and-leave lifestyle. Just a short stroll from Dingle Dell Reserve and St Heliers Beach, the home enjoys an enviable position in one of Auckland's most desirable coastal communities.
A striking double-height glazed atrium creates an impressive sense of space and natural light, while pale oak timber flooring brings warmth and sophistication to the ground floor. The beautifully appointed kitchen makes a bold statement with its contrasting black and white palette, rich cabinetry, stone waterfall island and timber breakfast bar. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the dining and family areas feature expansive stackable sliders opening to generous wraparound decking. A separate lounge offers an inviting retreat, complete with a statement gas fireplace and direct access to the outdoors. An adjustable louvred pergola provides a sheltered setting for alfresco dining and entertaining throughout the seasons.
Upstairs, the accommodation is equally impressive. The master suite and a second bedroom each enjoy walk-in wardrobes and beautifully finished, fully tiled ensuites. A spacious family bathroom features a freestanding-style back-to-wall bath, separate shower and dual basins set upon an elegant timber vanity. A guest powder room downstairs adds further convenience, while ducted heat pumps across both levels ensure year-round comfort.
Internal access double garaging incorporates a practical laundry area, while the easy-care, pet-friendly lawn provides a welcome outdoor space without the demands of extensive maintenance. Zoned for St Heliers School, St Ignatius Catholic School and Glendowie College, and within walking distance of local cafés, restaurants, shops and the waterfront, this exceptional home combines architectural distinction with the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes St Heliers so sought after.
