A property so perfectly attuned to its magnificent location that it has drawn the attention of international publications. This Takapuna home is one of the New Zealand's finest waterfront properties.
The magnificent 2362 square metres of land which was originally the site of the old St. Anne's School for Girls has been transformed with a masterly interpretation of Pacific architecture. Built to classical lines and exacting standards, what has been created is a unique residence of understated elegance in perfect harmony with its beachfront position. Timber highlighting and mellow sandstone flooring throughout one home create a sumptuous yet relaxed atmosphere. A magnificent kitchen, designed with entertaining in mind, opening directly onto the pool terrace, hints of long summer days spent relaxing with friends and family while a formal living area with gas fire and a state of the art home theatre promise all season comfort.
A generous master suite opening onto a terrace overlooking the beach shares the upper level with a library and guest suite.The sun drenched pool area and its surrounding terraces are essentially the only common areas of the two homes, but well placed screening allows areas to be closed off for privacy. The other home, built with family life in mind features a light modern interior, spacious living and separate children's wing.

Enjoying one of the finest positions on Takapuna Beach, mature pohutukawa frame views of the golden sand and sparkling blue waters. All the best that Takapuna has to offer is right on the doorstep - the playground of the beach, the charming cafes and restaurants, and the shopping village. A unique opportunity for very special living.
