19 Masons Avenue, Herne Bay, Auckland, 1011, New Zealand
Seek solace in this resort-like home tucked away from prying eyes. Completely shielded from the road and hidden behind a canopy of trees from neighbours this stunning residence is incredibly quiet and private.
So private, you could skinny dip in the heated pool or sunbathe sans clothes on a lounger on the wrap around deck. When you do entertain (fully clothed, of course) the L shaped living area completely opens with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors creating a seamless flow between living room, kitchen and dining room and outside.
While the adults mingle upstairs the kids can freely roam downstairs in the perfectly created zone for them. A large media style living space takes the centre from which two generous bedrooms and family bathroom. When the movies or gaming gets boring the perfectly manicured lawn is calling for a game of footy or to tustle with the dog.
Architect Andrew Meiring transformed the home into this stunning abode. It has a Californian mid-century vibe in a low-key way. Imagine hosting dinner parties or BBQs that stretch from the afternoon into the evening be it glamorous or casual.
No matter what the leg length of those kids, here is a home they can grow comfortably in and see you through all the seasons of life. Herne Bay and the Avenues are famously family friendly and highly sought after for the excellent primary school, sunny positioning and accessibility to some of the best boutiques, cafes and restaurants in Auckland.
