Dress Circle Positioning - Architectural Pedigree

Perched gracefully above sweeping tiered lawns and surrounded by beautifully established gardens, this remarkable property offers a sense of privacy, scale, and timeless sophistication.

From the moment you arrive via the curved driveway, framed by tropical nikau palms, there is a feeling that this is somewhere truly special. Landscaped gardens with mature plantings and even your own private forest create a setting that feels both tranquil and enchanting. Elevated to capture an extraordinary panorama, the views stretch across Napier Hill, the iconic Marine Parade pines, the sparkling Pacific Ocean, and onward to the twinkling wind turbines on the distant hills.

Originally designed in the 1970s by renowned architect Guy Natusch and thoughtfully renovated in the 1990s, the home is a superb example of enduring design. Rich in character, it showcases exquisite rimu detailing throughout - from the beautifully crafted wall panelling to polished timber floors accented with elegant brass inlays. It is a home that instantly captivates, where architectural integrity and breathtaking outlooks combine in perfect harmony. There is even, quite fittingly, a bath with a view.

Substantial in scale and thoughtfully configured, the home offers a flexible layout designed to adapt effortlessly to family life. Generous proportions, multiple living areas, and excellent storage throughout create a wonderful sense of spaciousness and comfort. With its versatile floor plan, there is also exciting potential for those seeking home-and-income opportunities, including the possibility of creating guest accommodation or an Airbnb setup with some thoughtful adaptations.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen, dining, and family room are bathed in natural light, with cathedral-beamed ceilings enhancing the sense of openness and warmth. Ranch sliders provide seamless flow to the landscaped gardens beyond. A separate formal living room offers a refined retreat, complete with extensive built-in timber cabinetry, while a third living area - currently used as a seventh bedroom - could equally serve as a games room, home office, studio, or business space.

Six generously proportioned bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for family living, guests, or multi-generational accommodation. Each room enjoys a sense of space and calm, with thoughtfully positioned windows capturing natural light and outlooks across the surrounding landscape - ensuring every bedroom feels connected to the home’s elevated setting.

Outside, the grounds are as practical as they are beautiful. The fully fenced tiered lawns provide a safe haven for children and pets, while an extensive automated irrigation system keeps the gardens thriving with ease. Raised vegetable beds, a chicken coop, garden sheds, and a woodshed with attached storage room add to the property’s self-sufficient charm.

Parking is exceptionally well catered for, with a four-car open carport and ample additional off-street space for family and guests.

This is a home of remarkable character and versatility, where architecture, landscape, and breathtaking views come together to create something truly memorable.

A property of this calibre is best experienced in person - make it a priority to come and discover all that it has to offer.
