42B Clifton Road, Takapuna

A statement of design and engineering excellence. 42B Clifton Road is available now for the first time on the market since it was built by present owners. Benefiting from all the ease that modern thoughtful design and craftsmanship affords and offering an incredible level of accommodation with private sunny outdoor living, fabulous resort-like tropical gardens and pool. An extraordinary architectural 14 metre vertical water feature creates a soothing backdrop to everyday life. A lift services three luxurious levels and takes you to the huge master suite at the top. Designer Graeme Orr created this timeless contemporary 519 sq m (more or less.) home made from honed masonry block and features a combination of polished concrete and oak flooring. This extraordinary home circulates around a light-filled atrium stairway rising three levels that gives beautiful vistas of the surrounding gardens incorporating an impressive chocolate marble kitchen with scullery (adding an extra microwave, fridge and oven). The main living area is expansive and looks north through a parade of lofty palms. It is warmed by an extra-wide gas fire and opens on three sides to multiple outdoor spaces including a pool with swim jets and a spa grotto. A second living area or home theatre has a screen that comes down from the ceiling. Bedrooms are generous; two have en-suites - and open outdoors. All three bathrooms feature marble walls. There is masses of storage throughout and the ground floor laundry forms part of a versatile utility area that could be an art studio. In addition, there is secure off-street parking for at least four cars or a large boat, and just a few metres away are the gorgeous golden sands of Takapuna Beach. Enjoy a relaxed pampered resort lifestyle every day....
