Waterfront Luxury At Its Absolute Finest

Watchlist

29 Minnehaha Avenue

Takapuna

This is, without question, one of Auckland’s finest waterfront residences to reach the market in recent years. Positioned on a generous 1,072m² site at the end of “Minnehaha Avenue”, this Cape Cod–inspired home has been reimagined by architect Jack McKinney.

Spanning approximately 738m² of floor area, including 131m² of formed terraces, this gorgeous home is a showcase of craftsmanship and understated elegance.

Accommodation-wise, there is a choice of up to six ensuited bedrooms plus a large home office (or five ensuited bedrooms with his and hers ensuites, walk-in robes and two private offices), leaving most families with a surplus of space to sprawl and house guests in complete style.

The entry foyer with oak heated flooring leads to expansive living spaces framed by panoramic views of Rangitoto Island. A designer kitchen crafted by “Bremich” features a large island, Bora induction and gas hobs, a pair of Wolf ovens, Liebherr integrated refrigeration and dual wine fridges. The home has two living areas on the main living floor, a lovely blend of relaxed beach, informal living and more formal living rooms to unwind and relax. There is a large games room set up to house a pool table and this space also has a full kitchen (including cooking), ideal for entertaining by the pool. A stunning addition is the eight-seater “certified” home cinema. It is one of only three in NZ at an eye-watering seven-figure cost.

The upper level houses the master suite with a spacious bedroom, two marble bathrooms, two walk-in wardrobes and a private office.

Perfect for in-home care or guests is the fully self-contained studio. This lavish space also offers great close sea views, a marble ensuite, and a full kitchen.

The home is extremely private thanks to raised boundary fencing and while there is direct access to the water, the public if walking by are not visible from the property.
