29 Minnehaha Avenue

Waterfront Luxury At Its Absolute Finest

MINNEHAHA AVENUE, THORNE BAY, TAKAPUNA

This is, without question, one of Auckland's finest waterfront residences to reach the market in recent years. Positioned on a generous 1,072m² site at the end of Takapuna's most coveted seaward-side Avenue, "Minnehaha", this Cape Cod/Hamptons-inspired home has been reimagined by architect Jack McKinney - a renovation spanning three and a half years! Put quite simply, the result is absolutely spectacular.

Spanning approximately 738m² of floor area, including 607m² of interior spaces and 131m² of formed terraces, this gorgeous home is a showcase of craftsmanship and understated elegance and is located in the very best of locations. Uniquely, the site borders a reserve, so it has the benefit of no northern neighbour, making it one of the few beachfront homes on the shore with this feature.

Securely gated and offering the latest CCTV, Crestron home automation, and premium finishes throughout, every detail speaks of waterfront living without compromise.

Accommodation-wise, there is a choice of up to six ensuited bedrooms plus a large home office (or five ensuited bedrooms with his and hers ensuites, walk-in robes and two private offices), leaving most families with a surplus of space to sprawl and house guests in complete style. The grand entry foyer with oak heated flooring leads to expansive living spaces framed by panoramic views of Rangitoto Island. A designer kitchen crafted by "Bremich" features a very large island, Bora induction and gas hobs, a pair of Wolf ovens, Liebherr integrated refrigeration and dual wine fridges.

The home has two living areas on the main living floor, a lovely blend of relaxed beach, informal living and more formal living rooms to unwind and relax. There is a large games room set up to house a pool table, and this space also has a full kitchen (including cooking), ideal for entertaining by the pool.

A stunning addition is the eight-seater "certified" home cinema. It is one of only two in NZ at an eye-watering seven-figure cost. All three living spaces flow seamlessly to tiled terraces (ground floor) or terraces overlooking the pool on the mid floor. The views of Rangitoto and its relationship with the water are first class.

The upper bedroom level houses the master suite with a spacious bedroom, two marble bathrooms, two walk-in wardrobes and a private office. Every additional bedroom offers stunning private marble bathrooms with Fantini tapware and excellent wardrobe spaces, integrated sound and televisions.

Perfect for in-home care, guests or perhaps one lucky teenager, is the fully self-contained studio above one of the double garages. This lavish space also offers great close sea views, a marble ensuite, and a full kitchen.

The home has generous off-street parking along with genuine four-car garaging with EV charging. The home is extremely private thanks to raised boundary fencing and while there is direct access to the water, the public if walking by are not visible from the property.
