25-27 William Street, Takapuna, North Shore City, Auckland

A rare and unique opportunity has presented itself to secure a Takapuna landmark property. This superb beachfront estate comprises three architectural residences designed across 1,778m² on two adjoining titles. One of the highest sites on the beachfront, the property enjoys exceptional elevation. Designed by Ian Athfield with Zac Athfield and Nick Strachan of Athfield Architects, all three homes share a cohesive design aesthetic, with the site having uninterrupted views to the beach and Rangitoto.

A sensational opportunity to live on the beach with significant additional accommodation for perhaps live-in help, an au pair, extended family, as well as a separate home for guests or work from home. Each home is completely fully self-contained, with its own full kitchen and laundry facilities.

The main residence positioned on the beachfront is a striking combination of cedar, precast concrete and sliding screens, combining industrial permanence with refined coastal living. Expansive floor-to-ceiling double glazing captures superb sea views from the open plan living, dining and kitchen area. A dramatic double-height void leads upstairs to the master suite with a private lounge, full-width deck and large ensuite with a bath offering one of the best views- superb. A second double bedroom connects to a full bathroom, while a third bedroom or second master suite includes its own living area, ensuite and deck

The middle residence sits beautifully between the primary and roadside homes. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a sunken lounge flowing to superb outdoor decking ideal for entertaining.

The roadside residence offers two large double bedrooms. It offers a cosy living and dining area opening to decks and lawn, a galley-style kitchen generous second bedroom or studio, a separate bathroom, and the upper-level offers a master suite with an ensuite and access to a roof deck with sea views.
