Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 27 November 2024 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior) Perfectly positioned on one of Orakei's finest streets, you will love arriving home to this sensational family home with its wonderful fusion of stunning sea views, sun, and super flexible elegant family living.What started out as a brilliant renovation project, ended up becoming a virtual rebuild of the highest order, and the result is spectacular.The beautiful atrium entry is warm, welcoming, and central to the home. From here you can head upstairs, or downstairs, or flow through to either the formal lounge, which connects to a secluded front courtyard, or straight through to the absolutely fantastic entertainer's kitchen with its commanding views across the covered party deck out to sea. On this level is also a huge dining room which is perfectly positioned between the kitchen and the formal lounge.Downstairs you will find another living area that flows out to the pool and spa, 2 large bedrooms, another bathroom, a separate laundry and a gym room which could easily become a large wine cellar.Upstairs you will find an amazing master suite where you will wake up to sensational sunrise views across the bay and out to Rangitoto. There's another large sun-drenched party deck up here, also with sensational views. Another double bedroom, a beautiful bathroom, and a large living room, which could easily be a 5th bedroom.In addition to the internal garage, there is also secure, gated parking for your boat or more cars if needed.There hasn't been anything quite like this available for a few years now. The vendors are retiring, the kids are gone, and they are downsizing, otherwise it wouldnt be available for many years to come.Online price guide not indicative, due to a complete re-build of the property.
