Having been cherished for over 97 years by one family, circumstances demand that this premium address sitting above the Orakei Basin must be sold.

This opportunity is not to be taken lightly - sitting on 1251 sqm of land with a due-north view that is among the most admired and iconic of Auckland's residential landscape, you can buy with confidence and hold with surety.

• This waterfront treasure is largely original - use it to ignite your imagination for extension or renovation. Livable while you plan your future, the proportions are generous and each space has a basin backdrop. A mature terraced garden invites creativity - superb for those with a green thumb.

• Seclusion and exclusivity - nearly invisible from Upland Road, the homes on this side of the basin are highly acclaimed and tightly held for their peace and connection to the stunning natural environment. A hydraulic lift creates convenient access from the garage on the street to the entrance level.

• Enjoy this elevated position in the privacy, quiet and shelter of one of Auckland's more exclusive locations. It's just a short stroll for your morning coffee - perhaps after your walk around the Orakei basin or one of the other many walkways in the vicinity, and choices for top-class dining out "local" are numerous. Excellent schools are minutes away.

• Disregard 2021 C.V. and previous price indications, this must be sold.
