7 Marine Terrace, Bayswater, North Shore City, Auckland

Set behind ornate wrought-iron gates, this exceptional property offers a true sense of arrival. Positioned at the end of a private driveway on an impressive 1897sqm (more or less) flat site, it perfectly balances grandeur with tranquillity - featuring ornate manicured gardens, a sun-drenched north-facing lawn, and breath-taking views of the Waitemata Harbour and Auckland City from the rear of the home. Steeped in character, this residence reflects the enduring charm and craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts era. The sweeping timber staircase in the grand entrance foyer sets the tone for the fine architectural details and solid permanence that define the home. A thoughtfully designed modern addition complements the traditional architecture, featuring a contemporary kitchen and open-plan living/dining area with pitched timber ceilings and a bright, conservatory-style ambiance - a warm, inviting space to relax and entertain. The ground floor offers three separate living areas, providing flexibility for family gatherings, entertaining, or a peaceful retreat. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with private bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, and tranquil views of the water from the pretty window seat. An additional bedroom or office on the ground floor adds further versatility.

Held and cherished by the same family for over 20 years, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to secure a home of prestige, scale, and elegance in one of Bayswater's most desirable locations. The Bayswater ferry is an easy walk away and provides a convenient travel option to downtown Auckland City.

With the owners returning overseas, this home is ready to begin its next chapter - offering an enviable lifestyle and a legacy for generations to come.
