Private. Elevated. Extraordinary.

Imagine raising your family in one of St Heliers most remarkable homes, privately positioned on a substantial 1,384sqm north-facing site just moments from Madills Farm, Kohimarama Beach and the waterfront lifestyle.

Offering approximately 364sqm of floor area, this is a home of genuine scale, with generous living spaces, four bedrooms, an office adjoining the master suite and wonderful separation for family life. Elevated and exceptionally private, the home enjoys a beautiful outlook across the surrounding neighbourhood to the harbour, while its north-facing aspect captures all-day sun and spectacular sunsets.

Designed in 1957 by renowned architect Vladimir Cacala for celebrated New Zealand artist Garth Tapper, the home has an architectural pedigree that sets it apart. Its distinctive cantilevered form, expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and original blue, white and yellow colour palette speak to Cacala's bold mid-century design, while timber floors and panelling and a dramatic double-height stone wall bring warmth and character throughout.

Importantly, this was architecture designed to be lived in. The split-level layout, generous proportions, connection between spaces and strong relationship with the outdoors make this as much a substantial family home as an important piece of New Zealand residential architecture.

The substantial grounds are another point of difference. Adding to the sense of privacy, the property extends into an established pocket of bush, complete with a tree house tucked amongst the trees - a unique addition for families and another reminder of just how much this substantial site has to offer.

The potential here is significant. Whether you choose to enhance the home over time or undertake a more substantial transformation, the scale of the house, privacy and exceptional 1,384sqm site provides an incredible foundation to work with. Architectural concepts have already been prepared, including the addition of a pool, offering a glimpse of just what could be possible.

Practicality hasn't been forgotten, with a carport at the front of the property and a separate rear garage and workshop, complete with a car pit - ideal for vehicles, storage, hobbies or projects.

Quietly tucked away in a tightly held St Heliers cul-de-sac, yet remarkably close to Kohimarama Beach, Madills Farm, the waterfront and everything the Eastern Bays has to offer, the home is in zone for sought-after local schools and conveniently positioned for bus routes servicing a number of Auckland's leading private schools.

A rare combination of space, privacy, position and architectural significance, this is a remarkable family home with an extraordinary past - and an equally exciting future.
