With only two owners since it was crafted in 1932, the residence is now a striking juxtaposition of old and new - a unique blend of classic character and contemporary architecture.

Three bedrooms and the study up here savour panoramic views of the Auckland ports, busy harbour, Rangitoto and the North Shore.

A two-level glass walkway connects the original to the new marble extension at the rear, which sits above the double garage. Designed by Ken Crosson Architects, it was created as a boardroom but could be utilised as a home office, guest accommodation or teenage retreat. Sleek, streamlined design incorporates a concealed built in tv, wall mounted bed, bathroom and kitchen.

Rich in history and built in a prime position at the Eastern end of St Heliers Bay in 1884, this grand and prominent home offers a unique and rare opportunity. Constructed using materials brought from England on sailing ships, the home was exceptionally well built and designed to stand the test of time. These materials were used as ballast for the long sea voyage. Once anchored in the bay, the materials were rowed ashore to the beach below the property and carted up the hill to the site. This gorgeous Victorian residence has been a landmark in St Heliers since the early European settlers arrived. Its architecture and design are iconic, and after being held by the same family for over 60 years, a rare opportunity now presents itself for a new custodian to guide it into its next chapter. Positioned on an elevated site regarded as one of the best in the bay, with easy access to the beach, it was the first home built at the Eastern end of St Heliers Bay. The home captures sweeping views along the beach, across the bay to the city, and over the harbour to Rangitoto. It also enjoys views of North Head, the East Coast Bays, and the shipping channel. The home sits within an affluent seaside enclave known for boutique shopping, acclaimed cafe's, and beautiful beaches. The property is within easy walking distance of local amenities and features a private gated walkway to the beach and village via Cliff Road. The two-storey, 234sqm (approx.) character home comprises three titles and sits on 865sqm (more or less) of land. It is currently configured as two separate apartments: a three-bedroom residence upstairs and a two-bedroom residence downstairs, connected by an internal door. Alongside is an additional parcel of vacant land, offering exceptional flexibility and future potential. Bring your architect and make the most of this once-in-a-generation opportunity. There are many options: •Retain the apartments as income-generating rentals in a high-demand location and build another home on the vacant section behind. •Restore and extend the existing residence into a substantial family home, enhancing its beauty and grandeur. •Redevelop the entire site under the Residential Mixed Housing Urban zoning (subject to council approval).
