Discover a Mediterranean city sanctuary in this 1930’s home for sale

This unique circa 1930’s Mediterranean style home is nestled behind a gated entry on an elevated 1087sqm site overlooking Karaka Bay. Established trees and a circular cobbled driveway complement its alluring rendered façade. The residence was enhanced by a 1980’s addition which was designed by renowned architect John Goldwater, who ensured the home kept a continuous structural flow throughout maintaining its original character and historic charm.

A large entrance foyer with an arched doorway opens to several living spaces with a light, breezy vibe and beautiful interior elements which include wooden accents, low timber ceilings with exposed beams, recessed shelving and paned circular windows which capture amazing sea vistas.

The kitchen flows into two separate dining areas both of which open to decks that enjoy harbour views to Browns Island and beyond. A spacious tiled lounge with a warm rustic atmosphere opens to paved patios on either side.

Three double bedrooms are serviced by two family bathrooms and a study spanning the length of a wall provides plenty of storage space. A second large lounge opens to a romantic central patio which is shaded by lush greenery.

Located on the upper level, the master suite is a luxurious and relaxing personal space. It comprises a walk-in wardrobe, a private balcony and an ensuite with an additional balcony complete with coloured floor tiles that exude a Tuscan flair.

This home is nestled in amongst some of Auckland’s most breath-taking scenery but is desirably located to still be able to enjoy the conveniences of modern life. This safe and exclusive neighbourhood is within a few minutes’ walk of Churchill Park Reserve and a short drive from the St Heliers beachfront with an array of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops.

A fabulous fusion of old and new, this is a perfect retreat for those who want to enjoy a life admiring the ocean and revelling in the beauty, privacy and relaxed atmosphere of a quintessential Mediterranean style home.
