45A Tautari Street, Orakei, Auckland City, Auckland

An impressive newcomer on Orakei's upper slopes, this bold, linear four bedroom residence has just been completed. Nestled on a 347 sqm (approx.) freehold site, the elevated north facing property is oriented to appreciate wide sea views across to North Head's iconic peninsula. Exemplifying the paradox of simplicity with uncompromising specifications, this is a home for discerning families and busy executives.

Advancing over split levels, the 229 sqm (approx.) home harnesses attractive timber flooring in the foyer and entertainment areas with solid open stair risers connecting the lower and central floors. The central core living space with soaring raking ceilings provides an inviting open plan layout to enjoy, complete with built in gas fireplace and four dual-opening sliders to maximise the captivating vistas.

A striking kitchen boasts attractive black cabinetry and integrates Miele appliances including an induction cooktop, timeless brass tapware and durable stone slab counters. Nearby stackers open wide to usher guests out to the pergola covered alfresco zone, perfect for entertaining. Tiered decking borders putting-green smooth turf accessible from three of the bedrooms - one being the master complete with heat pump, custom walk-in wardrobe, and ensuite featuring dual vessel basins, black fittings and innovative wet shower. Echoing the same designer chic, the main family bathroom includes a back to wall bathtub while the guest powder room and sizeable laundry/scullery are similarly executed to perfection. The fourth bedroom is separate on the ground floor providing versatility and separation from the main living levels.

Perfecting this brand new home is a spacious, fully carpeted internal access double garage with additional storage. Just over 5km to the CBD, walking distance to in-zone Orakei School and minutes by car to Eastridge, Orakei Village shopping mall and beach precincts, this is a rare opportunity to embrace a premium, low maintenance lifestyle in a stunning new house.
