24 Hamana Street, Narrow Neck, Devonport, North Shore City, Auckland

Quietly gracing an exceptionally wide 1452sqm waterfront site in the heart of sought-after Narrow Neck beach, this beautifully reimagined residence delivers a rare blend of relaxed coastal luxury, architectural warmth and everyday liveability.

Extensively renovated and rebuilt in 2009, the home has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its remarkable setting, with sweeping views across the channel to Rangitoto Island forming a dramatic and ever-changing backdrop. Vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fire and full-height glazing create a welcoming “luxury lodge” ambience, where understated quality, thoughtful detailing and pleasing symmetry and flow define the interiors.

The main living areas retain the original native timber floors and open seamlessly to expansive decks that stretch across the front of the home, providing outstanding spaces for entertaining, dining or simply relaxing while taking in the panoramic ocean and island views. The kitchen is beautifully integrated with the living spaces and caters equally well to casual family living or larger gatherings, with both informal and dedicated dining areas.

Accommodation is generously proportioned and exceptionally flexible. The ground floor offers a second living room with two bedrooms and a bathroom - ideal as a guest suite, extended family accommodation or a private retreat for older children. A further two bedrooms on this level share an additional family bathroom, while extensive floor-to-ceiling storage throughout the home ensures everything has its place.

The upper level is devoted entirely to the master suite - a peaceful sanctuary with bifold windows framing breathtaking water views, a spacious walk-in wardrobe, elegant ensuite and direct access to a private north-west facing deck. An outdoor shower completes this indulgent retreat.

Outdoors, beautifully landscaped gardens provide a striking contrast: a sun-soaked, Tuscany-inspired western courtyard, contrasting the expansive flat lawns that flow toward the water, highlighting the wide ocean panorama and creating a sense of openness, tranquillity and space rarely found this close to the city. Double garaging is conveniently positioned close to the home.

This is a residence that offers true escape - peaceful, serene and private - yet remains wonderfully connected. A short walk takes you to Narrow Neck Beach, the golf course and sailing club, while excellent schooling for all ages is close at hand. Devonport village, Takapuna and motorway access are all within easy reach.

Equally suited as an exceptional family home or an upmarket Auckland waterfront retreat, perfect for offshore kiwi’s or overseas investors looking for a New Zealand base, this is a rare opportunity to secure a genuine coastal retreat in one of the North Shore’s most tightly held locations.
