86A Kurahaupo Street, Orakei, Auckland City, Auckland

Choices of fantastic, sunny elevated indoor-outdoor living and mesmerising harbour views ensure this hidden 3-level home is a sensational family hideaway. For parents, the master stroke is a wow surprise on the expansive top floor suite - tons of room to party inside and out and a breath-taking panorama across a huge wraparound entertainer’s deck to Rangitoto Island and St Heliers.

Designed like the prow of a ship focused on the view, it’s like an apartment with a kitchenette, huge ensuite, walk-through dressing room and space to entertain with a projector for movie nights.

The home is ideally configured on different levels with 3 double bedrooms and a single, 3 bathrooms plus extra areas. Family members can spread out and relax, study, work or play in their own private space.

On the 1st floor, the main living includes a generous media room/lounge (complete with projector/screen and speakers) and large dining room. These flank the spacious kitchen catching harbour views from decks with practical moveable glass partition wind breaks. A sizeable double bedroom with separate bathroom has a single bedroom or office next door.

Apartment-style ground floor living provides more flexibility for teens or guests. Not only is there a 3rd sunny living space off a double bedroom and bathroom, but a huge multi-purpose utility room offering outdoor access on the northern aspect could be your office, wine cellar or studio. An internal access garage boasts a lift that connects to the living above, great for disabled or elderly relatives/friends.

While there’s tons of living, this property is as easy-care as it gets. And who needs lawn when a gate to Kupe North Reserve opens to the rear, where you can walk your dog and children can play. Close to Mission Bay Beach, Eastridge shops, Coates Ave bars and cafes and zoned for Orakei School, Baradene and Selwyn College – discover a home that has treats in store for the whole family.
