Feast your eyes on this very special secluded property, nestled on 1138m2 grounds, proudly celebrating an enviable north-facing waterfront position, showcasing the magical Waitemata Harbour and with your own expansive boat shed, steeped in history, as where the Whitbread Round the World 51-foot sloop Outward Bound was built. You will be entranced the moment you walk through the wide front door of this multi-tiered 1960's family home and into the light-filled, sun-drenched open-plan living with picture windows and sliding doors opening to the expansive veranda with a breath-taking panoramic vista and ever-changing sea views. You will delight in entertaining, summer parties and cocktails on the veranda, drinking in the splendid sunset views to Upper Harbour in the West, across to the Chelsea Sugar Works and the Harbour Bridge.

There is a cocktail bar, utility laundry room, plenty of storage, fully automated security gate, double garaging along with additional parking for multiple cars? Incredibly this remarkable property also boasts two one-bedroom apartments and two studio apartments, all with balconies and views. Enjoy the tranquil paradise this spectacular waterfront sanctuary offers, the sound of the lapping water as you walk amongst the mature pohutukawa and fruit trees, amidst the chorus of birdsong. Cast your gaze out to Watchmans Island, the bobbing yachts, with Sentinel Beach beckoning you to swim or kayak? OR immerse yourself in the bustle of the nearby restaurants, cafes and boutiques of vibrant Jervois Road, stroll the Westhaven Promenade to bustling Wynyard Quarter and the Viaduct Precinct.
