This Parnell residence gives little away at first glance. Yet, revealed beyond the secure gate is an elegant townhouse home with sea views to take one's breath away.The timeless styling was achieved by New Zealand's foremost interior designer, Debbie Abercrombie. From parquetry flooring to Santa Fe shutters, coastal hues, and bespoke appointments, there's an air of distinction to complement the living seaward aspect.A chef's muse, the custom kitchen boasts porcelain countertops, high-end appliances, and an integrated fridge. Open living is an inviting expanse that spills out to the entertainer's balcony, yet the focal point is undoubtedly the encompassing sea and landscape views. Guests will be overcome by the experience created from the vistas alone, capturing Rangitoto Island, Waiheke Island, Hobson Bay's iconic boat sheds, the action on the emerald-glistening Hauraki Gulf, and all that is above and beyond.The master suite is a private retreat, boasting a walk-in closet and en suite, and wakes to the best outlook the home offers of the enthralling views. The four bedrooms are divided between the top and ground floor; the top and lower levels each have a marble-clad bathroom. The lower bedrooms open to the alfresco area and are perfect for teens or an at-home office.There is also double garaging with internal access, a gas fireplace, extensive storage, a separate laundry, and carefree and pruned alfresco areas.Our vendors have relished strolling to Parnell to dine at their favourite restaurants and cafes and have loved walking proximity to the CBD, Newmarket, and the waterfront paths of Hobson Bay Basin.
