Une Résidence Déterminante

On nearly half an acre, a masterclass in architecture, construction and craftsmanship, this Paritai Drive estate is a unique and luxurious, resort-style retreat. Designed by acclaimed architect Richard Priest, the residence is positioned for sun and dazzling harbour views and boasts an infinity pool, international-sized tennis court, wellness centre/gym pavilion and eight-car drive-through garaging.

With an inspired material palette – timber, marble and Hinuera stone - and innovative design expertise, Priest has created a distinct nautical feel to the three level home. Bold curves, dramatic lines and soaring angles capture natural light and visions of Auckland’s key landmarks.

A water feature and Zen rockpools introduce the home and set the scene for the drama and extravagance to follow. The renovated chef’s kitchen features Gaggenau appliances, a large scullery and bar, while living and dining zones flow out to expansive terraces. At the front, the curved infinity pool is suspended above Paritai Drive and overlooks the harbourscape, while bifold doors open straight out onto the floodlit tennis court at the rear.

The hallway borders the tennis court and incorporates the formal dining and two bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom. The wellness/entertainment zone has a sauna, indoor spa and bar area and steps up through tropical gardens to the raised gym pavilion.

Upstairs, the master retreat incorporates a large study (or nursery) spa-like ensuite, large dressing room and grand bedroom with intimate views of the North Shore, Rangitoto, city skyline and busy harbour.

The ground floor offers another bedroom, bathroom, laundry and temperature controlled wine cellar. Two sets of doors make driving in and out of the tiled garage a breeze and a porthole looks into the infinity pool above.

After two decades the owner is now moving on, creating an opportunity for luxury living and entertaining on arguably Auckland’s most prestigious street.
