3/28A Awatea Road, Parnell, Auckland City, Auckland

Tucked discreetly behind secure gates on one of Parnell’s most exclusive streets, this hidden waterfront residence redefines luxury living. Designed by award-winning Patterson Architects, it forms part of a private enclave of only four individually designed town homes, a setting so rare, it feels more like the Riviera than the city.

From the moment you enter the driveway, the world disappears. Ahead lies the infinity pool, its edge merging seamlessly with the Waitemata Harbour and Hobson Bay beyond. The light shifts across the water all day, reflecting through the home as if you’re living in your own private resort.

The main living level unfolds beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, a space of understated elegance and natural warmth. A neutral palette, gas fireplace, and seamless flow to the balcony create a sanctuary for both entertaining and quiet reflection. Every detail has been refined from the designer kitchen and flooring to the quality of light and proportions throughout.

Accommodation is generous and flexible with three bedrooms, an upper-level loft that can serve as a second lounge or workspace, and a lower level that opens directly onto the pool terrace. Constructed primarily from concrete block, this residence combines architectural integrity with enduring peace of mind.

Set within a gated, impeccably maintained complex in Auckland’s coveted Double Grammar Zone, this is Parnell at its most private and polished, resort living, harbour views, and absolute exclusivity. A home that feels like the Riviera, right in the heart of the city.
