Elevated and oriented for panoramic city, Sky Tower and water vistas, this edgy modernist curvilinear home on a tranquil rear section offers an adaptable layout with scope to add value. Positioned in a desirable neighbourhood close to beaches and green spaces, it features sun-soaked outdoor zones ideal for entertaining and relaxed living. Perfect for families with teens, it also presents an opportunity for professionals to explore home-sharing to offset the mortgage. The approx. 227sqm floor plan is connected by distinctive spiral stairways, creating a unique architectural flow throughout. Core living centres around a light-filled lounge and dining area where bifolds open to an alfresco balcony, complete with a convenient guest powder room. The generous open plan kitchen pairs crisp white cabinetry with contrasting black granite benchtops and stainless-steel appliances. A penthouse-style master suite enjoys spectacular views and is complemented by a mezzanine study, sunroom, walk-in wardrobe and sleek ensuite with dual basins. Additional accommodation includes a separate lounge and two bedrooms, all opening to a sheltered terracotta terrace. A spacious family bathroom with corner spa bath and shower sits alongside a separate laundry. Ample storage is provided by internal access double garaging with rear drive-through to a parking pad, plus additional forecourt parking. The landscaped, flat and fenced 420sqm (approx.) section offers a safe and private space for children and pets. Zoned for Selwyn College, and bordering a retirement village, the home is within walking distance of the 49-hectare Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park and Orakei Domain. Public transport options are close at hand, with Eastridge shops and the city centre just a short drive away.
