How to describe this sculptural resort-like property with every luxury feature imaginable? With words such as grand, light-flooded, beautiful and meticulous. Ultimately, however, it is a family home. With 450sqm of floorspace spread over two levels, and with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and four living zones (including a den and conservatory), space is never a problem. Add in multiple outdoor spaces spilling from them, an in-ground pool, pool house/yoga room, tennis court and triple garage — along with stunning views across to Rangitoto — and this home delivers on every level.

Move past the many impressive features and you can appreciate the stellar workmanship here. It’s obvious in the Western red cedar and precast concrete-panel exterior with floor-to-ceiling glazing that captures the widespread vistas. More evidence can be found inside with elegant cedar-clad ceilings, a curved steel staircase and the designer kitchen. As you’d expect, this home is fully automated and that extends to lighting sensors inside and out, air conditioning, in-slab heating, audio, security, gate entry and even the pool cover. This is a top-of-the-line house, but also a very special home.
