20B Tautari Street, Orakei, Auckland City, Auckland

For busy families who want more time living and less time maintaining, this brand-new 228sqm architecturally designed home delivers generous family living with none of the renovation projects or weekend upkeep.

North-facing and one of just two freehold homes, it has been thoughtfully designed around the realities of family life. Four generous bedrooms, each with its own beautifully appointed ensuite, provide everyone with their own space and privacy. Two living areas, a dedicated study area, tandem double internal-access garaging and a perfectly proportioned lawn maximise family liveability.

At the heart of the home is a light-filled central living level, where views across Orakei Domain and Bastion Point to Rangitoto provide a spectacular backdrop to everyday life. The striking kitchen centres around a generous marble island, with full-height cabinetry and premium integrated Smeg appliances. It flows naturally through to the dining and living areas and out to a louvre-covered balcony, creating a superb space for year-round entertaining. A second living room provides a separate snug for movie nights, children or simply retreating from the main hub of the home.

The layout is equally well suited to multigenerational living. A ground-floor bedroom with its own ensuite and easy access provides a private haven for grandparents or guests, while upstairs the primary suite captures spectacular views extending across to Rangitoto.

Being brand new means you can simply move in and enjoy it. Low-maintenance Abodo Vulcan cladding, double glazing, heat pumps, smart-home connectivity, European oak engineered timber floors and a Master Build 10-Year Guarantee provide comfort and peace of mind. Outside, the easy-care lawn and considered landscaping leave weekends free for the things that matter.

The location completes the picture. Zoned for Orakei School and within easy reach of St Kentigern’s Boys’ and Girls’ Schools, Baradene College and King’s School, the home is also just a stroll from the Coates Avenue shops and cafés. Eastridge, Orakei Bay Village, Tamaki Drive and the waterfront are all close at hand.

Brand new, beautifully finished and designed around modern family life, this is a home you can move straight into and enjoy - with Rangitoto providing the view you’ll never tire of.
