There's a moment on the way in - the driveway rises, the city drops away, and then the outlook opens up. It happens every single time you come home. After a while, you'll realise it's one of your favourite parts of the day.

This is not a property for everyone. It was never meant to be. It's for the person who understands that the best things in this city require a little elevation to reach - and that waking up to that view every single morning is worth every step.

One of only three in one of Orakei's most tightly held complexes. Long-term neighbours who will tell you about the street, the seasons, the sunrises. A community so settled that properties here rarely surface at all. This one has.

Three levels, each with purpose. The middle level is where life happens - open-plan kitchen, dining and living with the horizon locked in your eyeline, spilling out to a generous balcony where the view does all the entertaining for you. Below, a substantial double garage with internal access that most people in the Bays would trade a lot for.

Paddleboards, kayaks, bikes, wetsuits, the full kit - it all fits, with room to spare. This is lock-and-leave living that actually works for the way people here live. Upstairs, the primary suite claims the same outlook as the living room. Ensuite, dual wardrobes, balcony access across the full front elevation. The first thing you see every morning is the sea. That does something to a day.

Built in the 1980s and freshly repainted externally, the bones are solid and the proportions are generous. There is real scope here for someone who wants to modernise over time and add value while living in one of the city's most coveted pockets. The position is already blue-chip. The next chapter is yours to write.

The CBD is minutes away. The water is at your feet. The neighbours have been here long enough to tell you this doesn't come up often - and they're right. This is the Bays lifestyle without the compromise of distance. The city without the sacrifice of outlook. A home that makes life feel genuinely better the moment you arrive.

All offers genuinely considered. All conjuncting agents welcome.
