1 Milton Road, Northcote Point, North Shore City, Auckland

Meticulously restored, extended and modernised, this glamorous character home, elevated for wide views across the harbour, delivers enviable entertaining options in a convenient location. Stunning original features were retained in the renovation. Refined spaces have been thoughtfully considered and beautifully curated. Throughout, subtle wallpapers, window seats and pretty chandeliers create a soft, elegant mood.

Bathed in northern light, generous living areas all have spectacular water views including the substantial formal lounge which opens to a deck and flat lawn. A central traditional kitchen features double Smeg ovens, an induction hob and original timber floors. A scullery adds more storage and a huge island bench is the perfect spot for family or guests to gather for casual meals. Beyond the adjacent dining/sitting area, a loggia, enclosed on 3 sides by white louvres, is a sundrenched alternative for relaxed summer dining. It extends to a deck and a private tropical pool area with louvred pergola.

There are three bedrooms and a study upstairs and a self-contained studio below. The master suite, with cavity door to the lounge, includes a walk-in robe and ensuite. Gorgeous bathrooms have period tapware and a restored clawfoot bath entices in the family bathroom. With a kitchenette, walk-in dressing and ensuite, the self-contained studio has its own entry and looks across a covered patio to the petanque court.

While delightful in summer, gas central heating ensures cosy winters. Practicalities include a large traditional linen press for storage in the hallway and there's considerable storage in the double garage.
