Andrew specialises in marketing homes on the golden mile between Milford and Takapuna and around the waterfront. In the last eight consecutive calendar years, Andrew has sold over $100 million each year, at an average of over $5,000,000 per property – one of the highest (in volume and average sale price) residentially in the country. While he is renowned for dealing with higher value properties, Andrew has also carved a niche in the seaward side streets in and around Milford and Takapuna, especially with the lock-up-and-leave market. He sees a strong correlation between larger homes and the downsizer market assisting those vendors with their next purchase. If you are thinking of selling your home or purchasing a new one, please contact Andrew for a confidential discussion.
An extremely rare and unique opportunity has presented itself to secure a true Takapuna landmark property. This superb beachfront estate comprises three separate architectural residences cleverly designed across 1,778m² on two adjoining titles. One of the highest sites on the beachfront, the property enjoys exceptional elevation along with the rare benefit of ample off-street parking. Designed by Ian Athfield with Zac Athfield and Nick Strachan of Athfield Architects, all three homes share a cohesive design aesthetic, with the site having uninterrupted views to the beach and Rangitoto.
This represents a sensational opportunity to live on the beach with significant additional accommodation for perhaps live-in help, an au pair, or extended family, as well as a separate home for guests or work from home. Each home is fully self-contained, with its own full kitchen and laundry facilities so you can live completely independently if required.
The main residence, positioned on the beachfron,t is a striking combination of cedar, precast concrete and sliding screens, combining industrial permanence with refined coastal living. Expansive floor-to-ceiling double glazing captures superb sea views from the open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Concrete floors with gas underfloor heating, a feature fireplace and an adjoining sunroom grace the lower level. A dramatic double-height void leads upstairs to the master suite with a private lounge, full-width deck and large ensuite with a bath offering one of the best views – superb. A second double bedroom connects to a full bathroom, while a third bedroom or second master suite includes its own living area, ensuite and deck. A generous double garage, gated driveway access and full security system complete the primary home. This home could easily be made into four bedrooms as the fourth was amalgamated into the master suite by the owners.
The middle residence sits beautifully between the primary and roadside homes. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a sunken lounge flowing to superb outdoor decking ideal for entertaining, as well as an expansive lawn area. The master suite enjoys access to a large roof deck with sea views, making this home ideal for extended family or guests.
The roadside residence is the smallest of the three and offers two large double bedrooms. Its striking features of brass panelling, precast concrete and cedar complement the other two homes. It offers a cosy living and dining area opening to decks and lawn, a galley-style kitchen, generous second bedroom or studio, and a separate bathroom; and the upper-level offers a master suite with an ensuite and access to a roof deck with sea views.
With three beautifully designed homes, direct beachfront access and exceptional privacy, this estate offers one of the North Shore’s most extraordinary waterfront opportunities. A nod to yesteryear is the lovingly restored original “changing sheds” on the sands edge and mature trees frame this magnificent site.
Opportunities of this calibre seldom come to the market. Positioned directly on the sands of Takapuna Beach, this exceptional beachfront residence offers just under 500 square metres of refined living. Set on an expansive 1,480 square metre site, it enjoys direct beach access and uninterrupted panoramic views across the harbour to Rangitoto Island.
A unique feature is the secure beachfront boat shed, complete with a private beach gate, perfect for effortless launching of a Sealegs or other water toys, delivering an unrivalled lifestyle for boating and water-sport enthusiasts. This level also has additional storage rooms (see floorplan).
Originally constructed in 2010, the home has recently undergone a comprehensive renovation, leaving no stone unturned, led by interior designer Jason Bonham, in collaboration with TP Builders. The re-imagined floor plan now comprises four generous bedrooms, a spacious office, and three luxurious marble bathrooms. The home has been re-roofed and is now ready for the most discerning turnkey buyer.
Multiple living areas are thoughtfully oriented to capture the breathtaking sea views and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
At the heart of the outdoor entertaining spaces lies a stunning infinity-edge swimming pool, seemingly suspended above the beach, with uninterrupted sea views providing a spectacular backdrop for both relaxed family living and entertaining.
Additional features include a temperature-controlled wine cellar accommodating approximately 420 bottles, triple-car garaging with additional off-street parking, lift access to all levels, and thoughtfully designed low-maintenance landscaping.
Every detail has been meticulously considered to deliver a residence of enduring quality and understated luxury.
This extraordinary home represents the very best of beachfront living, combining architectural style, expansive grounds, and a lifestyle that is without compromise.
Secure your slice of Takapuna waterfront now.
