Super tranquil, tucked off the street and overlooking Milford, it is one of the most sought- after areas in the Bays. This luxury residence exceeds on many levels and a personal viewing will allow true appreciation of all that is on offer. Level 3 viewings are by appointment.
The impressive entry foyer and high ceilings set the scene for the grand proportions throughout this home which is approximately 348sqm over three levels.

On entry level there’s massive four car garaging, currently repurposed as a home theatre, photographic studio and storage which are easy to reconfigure. A double bedroom and adjacent bathroom (utilised as a home office) is a perfect refuge for a teenager or guests.

Ascending the stunning atrium staircase, the abundance of natural light enhances all areas of this home. On this second level, the impressive open plan kitchen, dining, and family living area form the hub of the home. Featuring high stud, floor to ceiling doors and windows, and sliding walls to enclose the cosy lounge with gas fire, a master stroke in design. Easy flow to a gorgeous balcony on one side, with iconic panoramic views, and a sheltered patio and garden on the other, provides seamless alfresco living for lounging, entertaining or dining. The adjacent bedroom wing includes a family bathroom and two very generous double bedrooms with wonderful features.

The stunning Master suite takes up the entire upper level. The dazzling views take centre-stage, from Rangitoto across the city to the Waitakeres and beyond. Featuring a truly spacious light-filled bedroom, enormous walk- in wardrobe, bathroom including bidet and spa-bath, this is irrefutable luxury. Adjacent is an additional bedroom or private office.

Here at Neighbourhood Support we know first hand that communities that stay connected and prepared fare better in emergencies and natural disasters than those without a plan.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.

Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.

Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Our homes can be our greatest investment and protecting our homes against climate change has become more important than ever.

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.

Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

Hi neighbours,

Sir John Key’s recent media blitz was full of suggestions for how the Covid-19 response could have been done better. Some have been found to be false (such as his claim we could have paid Pfizer for preferential supply), and some seem to have lit a fire under the Government to get things moving (such as the suggestion of home quarantining).

How do you feel about Key’s contribution?
