9 Stanley Point Road, Stanley Point, Devonport, North Shore City, Auckland

Presiding over cinematic city and harbour views, this 2112sqm private estate is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, an extraordinary 679sqm work of art that stands proudly amongst the world’s finest waterfront homes. Two combined titles provide sweeping lawns, established trees, sunny courtyards, a few steps to bring you onto the beach and private jetty.

The striking steel reinforced solid block masonry structure is a showpiece of bold, contemporary, timeless design and, with its steel joinery and walls of glass, is a unique home showcasing the best of construction and engineering ingenuity. Spreading across a wide water frontage it maximises every facet of the view and illuminates spaces throughout with natural light and sun and flow.

Soaring solid block internal walls have become a gallery for showcasing art, while a profusion of glass celebrates a sense of connection with the landscape – a unique and ever-changing spectacle over city, sea and sky.

A series of expansive living, dining and entertaining zones flow out to water-facing decks on one side and the sundrenched pool complex and sheltered dining courtyard on the other. Lavish proportions and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor zones create spaces for private family relaxing and hosting events on a large scale. The well-equipped kitchen connects to family living and the pool and boasts incredible city views, butler’s pantry and Miele appliances.

Two bedrooms on the main level each have their own bathroom, this includes the beautifully positioned master suite with breathtaking views. The ground floor offers a large lounge/media room with gas fire, two large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a music room (plumbed for ensuite, potential fifth bedroom), wine cellar and excellent storage options.

You can launch your rib or jetski from your private jetty, or enjoy sea swims, kayaks and paddleboards from the beach.

Above the triple garage is a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, private outdoor living and spectacular views. Security gates protect the property, which also enjoys plenty of off-street parking and an enormous front lawn with outdoor sculptures.
