13 Waimana Avenue, Northcote Point, North Shore City, Auckland

Masterful architectural design pays homage to the extraordinary harbour views on display at this brand-new Northcote Point residence. Truly bespoke and beautifully finished, the interiors are a fest for the senses and showcase inspired textures, tones and features throughout.

The expansive two-level floorplan provides plenty of space and separation for family life and, while this coveted Northcote Point neighbourhood is largely reserved for heritage homes, this high-tech, high-spec modern home boasts all the benefits of a new build. It’s within walking distance from local cafes, bars, restaurants, schools, parks and cinema, plus close to the motorway onramps for accessing the CBD and Takapuna.

The elevated 601sqm (more or less) site is tucked into the exclusive ridgeline, which affords it sweeping, multi-faceted vistas. From the entrance foyer, the striking floating timber staircase arrives up to the expansive top floor. A soaring peaked ceiling enhances the sense of space, while walls of glass at either end flood the vast living, dining and kitchen areas with abundant natural light. At the far end, views of the city skyline, Rangitoto, the inner harbour, Bayswater Marina and Mount Victoria are captured. The glass-doored wine cellar is a real feature up here and the well-equipped chef’s kitchen boasts Miele appliances (two ovens, a steam oven and microwave) and Italian titanium marble bench tops. The master suite enjoys incredible views, a private deck, custom walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite.

Unique design sees part of the ground floor envelop a private native garden, which enhances light and flow. This level is the perfect kids zone and incorporates three bedrooms, two bathrooms (incl. one ensuite), a separate media room, lounge with deck access and internal double garaging.
