Be the first to move into this brand-new luxury two-storey coastal home in Takapuna with space, sun, ocean views, pool and entertaining area, just moments from Takapuna Beach.
The landmark property at 14 Brett Avenue has been completely reimagined, with the original dwelling carefully demolished and replaced by a bespoke new residence. Thoughtfully designed, the new home pays homage to the character and intent of its predecessor while establishing a contemporary presence on Takapuna’s prestigious “Golden Mile”.
“The property itself carries notable architectural significance,” says project manager Michelle Ross, of property concierge and delivery partners Novacon Consulting.
“It was originally designed by architect Miriam White for her parents in the late 1980s and completed in the early 1990s and reflected the strong post-modern design language that defined many of Auckland’s premium residences of that era.

“By 2019, it became clear the property required a comprehensive transformation to meet the expectations of today’s luxury market while still respecting the essence and vision of the original architecture.”
In 2024, Novacon Consulting was engaged to lead the redevelopment strategy and delivery for the private owner, with a clear objective: to push the boundaries of contemporary coastal living while preserving the individuality and character that made the property unique.
What now stands in its place is a remarkable new build that has been project managed by Novacon Consulting every step of the way and designed with functionality and sophistication in mind.
The home comprises four luxurious bedroom suites (two with ensuites), a substantial executive study, and expansive open-plan living and entertaining spaces oriented toward the waterfront to maximise natural light, privacy, and uninterrupted coastal outlooks.
Features include a swimming pool, bespoke outdoor fire feature, automated louvre roofing system, indoor and outdoor speaker system. A laundry jet system transports dirty or clean laundry through a network of hidden wall pipes, and there’s provision for a future lift or wine cellar.

The elevated rooftop terrace captures panoramic harbour vistas and sweeping views across to Rangitoto Island. In addition to the double garage, a large secure off-street parking area can accommodate up to eight vehicles.
Completed in February 2026, the property embodies a refined minimalist aesthetic with understated coastal luxury.
“Every element of the home has been carefully considered to create a sense of calm, scale, and effortless liveability, where clean architectural lines are softened through a rich layering of natural materials and finely crafted finishes,” says Michelle.
The interior aesthetic was collaboratively curated by CV Interiors and Novacon Consulting, resulting in a residence that achieves a seamless balance of warmth, texture, and architectural clarity while delivering an uncompromising standard of contemporary luxury living. Great consideration was also given to how the home would be positioned within the site to respond intelligently and sensitively to its coastal setting, says Michelle.
The design team undertook extensive viewshaft, solar orientation, and spatial analysis, including drone mapping captured at multiple height intervals across the property, to ensure the upper-level living wing maximised natural light, privacy, Rangitoto Island and harbour outlooks, and the movement of the sun from east to west throughout the day.
“The outcome is a home that feels both highly connected to its environment and inherently protected from neighbouring interfaces,” says Michelle.
Material selection formed another critical component of the design process resulting in a palette of natural textures and enduring materials that reinforce the home’s minimalist coastal aesthetic.

Structural engineering also played a pivotal role in the delivery of the project, particularly in relation to the integration of the rear entertaining terrace and swimming pool environment.
“These spaces were deliberately designed to operate as a seamless extension of the internal living areas, creating a highly functional family-focused retreat capable of accommodating both intimate day-to-day living and large-scale entertaining,” says Michelle.
“Extensive co-ordination between the architectural, structural, and construction teams was required to achieve the clean architectural lines, cantilevered elements, and uninterrupted transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces that define the residence.”
Sustainability and operational efficiency were also integrated into the design approach, incorporating natural ventilation strategies and energy-conscious systems that contribute to the overall performance and longevity of the home.
Environmental resilience formed another key component of the planning and engineering process with the specification of robust exterior materials, advanced waterproofing systems, corrosion-resistant finishes, and high-performance glazing.
With combined experience selling coastal Takapuna properties over more than 35 years, Premium Real Estate agents Richard and Robert Milne say they are delighted to be selling this one-of-a-kind truly unique property.
“Substantial brand new homes of this scale are incredibly rare and increasingly difficult to replicate given the limited supply of land available in this highly desirable location. This is such a prime opportunity for a buyer to secure a stunning turnkey home without having to spend time finding a suitable site and years to complete the process of building a new home.”
14 Brett Avenue in Takapuna, North Shore, Auckland, is for sale by expressions of interest closing July 22.
