Exquisite Single Beachfront Residence on 1,118sqm
25 WILLIAM STREET, TAKAPUNA
Offered to the Market for the first time (as one standalone home) since being built, lies a rare and exciting opportunity to secure one of Takapuna's most significant architectural properties. Positioned on one of the highest sites along this tightly held stretch of beachfront, the home enjoys exceptional elevation, 1,118 sqm of land, privacy and uninterrupted views across Takapuna Beach to Rangitoto. The home would suit a small family perfectly and at just over 320sqm with three ensuited bedrooms, it's small enough for couples to downsize to.
The home was originally designed with four bedrooms, with the fourth subsequently amalgamated into the master suite by the current owners, providing scope to reinstate this configuration should a purchaser require additional accommodation.
Designed by Sir Ian Athfield, together with Zac Athfield and Nick Strachan of Athfield Architects, the residence is a striking combination of cedar, precast concrete and sliding screens, creating an architectural home that combines industrial permanence with refined coastal living. Expansive floor-to-ceiling double glazing ensures the beach and water remain an ever-present backdrop to the main open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas. Concrete floors with gas underfloor heating provide both warmth and permanence, while a feature fireplace and adjoining sunroom create excellent year-round living. Large openings connect the interiors seamlessly with the beachfront setting and direct access to the sand.
The master suite is exceptional, incorporating a private lounge, full-width deck and generous ensuite where the bath enjoys what would have to be one of the best views in the house - superb.
A second double bedroom opens onto a full bathroom, while a further bedroom suite includes its own living area, ensuite, and private deck. The property also offers a generous double garage, gated driveway access, off-street parking and a comprehensive security system.

Andrew specialises in marketing homes on the Golden Mile between Milford and Takapuna and around the waterfront - both the sea and Lake Pupuke. He sees these areas as some of the finest real estate in the country, with always a strong demand for properties right across the price range.
In the last six consecutive calendar years, Andrew has sold over $100 million each year, with an average sale price of $6,204,993 – one of the highest residential averages in the country. He holds the highest ever recorded sales in both Milford and Takapuna, as well as Campbells Bay Beach, Campbells Bay Clifftop, and Stanley Point (for a non-waterfront property). Andrew seldom accepts listings outside his speciality area and only does so when he genuinely believes he is the best person for the job. To date, Andrew has sold over $1.6 billion worth of real estate while working with Precision.
Due to the number of clients who request confidentiality, he does a significant amount of business ‘off the market’. There have been many homes he has sold without the neighbours being aware. At the top end, there are large differences in where buyers see the value of property, he says, so he prefers to negotiate each transaction face to face, rather than selling by auction where there are risks when fewer people are in a cash unconditional position. Whilst he is renowned for dealing with higher-value properties, Andrew has also carved a niche within the seaward side streets in and around Milford and Takapuna, especially with the lock-up and leave market. He sees a strong correlation between larger homes and the downsizer market assisting those vendors with their next purchase.
Andrew lives in Audrey Road with his wife Sarah and two children, Ruby and Jack, and additionally has substantial commercial and residential holdings in the area, so he lives, breathes and believes in the core areas in which he sells.
If you are thinking of selling your home please contact Andrew for a confidential discussion.
