Enjoying superb panoramic views, this substantial waterfront residence has a prime position on Clifton Road – one of the country’s most esteemed streets. Number 41 is located just a few steps from the shores of Takapuna Beach and is perched just above it, on a well-established 1000m2 section. Crafted for the current family, the traditional white weatherboard home is presented in largely original condition. This makes it an enticing prospect for discerning buyers who wish to restore its former glory and grandeur, or create an entirely new coastal retreat in one of Auckland’s highest value streets.

Set back from the road, the residence rises up two levels with a perfect northerly aspect facing out towards the sea. A red brick path and steps arrive to the front door which opens into the main living level or you can take the lift which services all floors. High ceilings enhance the spaces, which are divided into several separate rooms that all open out to the terrace and sunny gardens. The cosy den has a fireplace, as does the large formal lounge and dining room, while the kitchen is spacious with abundant bench space and storage. The incredible north-facing sea views are showcased from every angle – the full living canvas of the Hauraki Gulf, Rangitoto and straight down the entire length of Takapuna beach.

There are two bedrooms, a study, the main bathroom, separate toilet and laundry are on the main level, before a staircase arrives up to the top floor. A large rumpus/ games room up here opens out to the veranda that wraps around the front, while three more bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom.

Outside, a closed terrace provides protection from the wind beneath the sheltered alfresco living area. The tiered gardens and lawns are framed with mature greenery and sit beneath established trees. When the tide is out, golden sand and rocks are visible below, while the sea laps the base of the property when it’s in.

Takapuna’s restaurants, cafes, shops and nightlife are just a pleasant beachfront stroll away, with the local Hauraki Corner stores meeting all daily needs. Commuters will relish the ease of access to the CBD with the handy motorway onramp, or have the option of catching one of the ferries that depart from the Bayswater or Devonport wharves regularly.

The grand proportions, significant land size and exceptional waterfront location make this an incredible opportunity for visionary purchasers. Opportunities at this end of the street rarely become available, tightly-held and coveted for their privacy, prestige and proximity to the beach.
