Situated in a prime quiet St Heliers Street, this substantial home from the 'Group Architects' drawing board in 1955 is designed across 2 sites of 1646sqm and enjoys a sun-drenched northerly aspect embracing views across wooded valleys to North head and the gulf. Tastefully renovated and maintained over 30 years by the current owners who now need to downsize. The palm trees, lush landscaped grounds and large pool ensure a very private resort atmosphere. The extensive floor plan of over 450sqm (more or less) invites you from the wide level entry to a relaxed open high stud living/ dining area opening to north facing terraces. The master bedroom and 2 more double bedrooms on this level all enjoy the same peaceful harbour panorama, and also includes 2 bathrooms, study, powder room, and of course the modern kitchen Family area which encompasses private courtyards, open fireplace, level secluded lawn, and covered access to the generous garaging. All the lower level rooms open north to the secluded magical 'resort'. The amazing natural pool with beaches and waterfalls is surrounded by cabana, decks and lawns. Stroll inside to another double bedroom, media room, billiard room with slate table, and kitchenette, and a spa complex with sauna and bathroom. Also providing easy access to the wine cellar and ample dry storage. The relaxed ambiance of this property has to be seen to be appreciated. A possible bonus is the development potential under the new unitary plan zoning. Call Gerard Charteris ( 021 996 622), Trent Colyer (021 989 466) or Jayne Kiely 021 352 007) to view
