The CV is history; motivation is what matters now. The vendor’s circumstances have created a rare opportunity to secure this unrivalled penthouse apartment - one of only five residences within the exclusive boutique Sonata building. Occupying an entire floor, this exceptional beachside home enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views spanning the ocean, city skyline and iconic Rangitoto Island, delivering a spectacular sunrise-to-sunset lifestyle. With their next chapter already underway, the owners are committed to achieving a sale, presenting discerning buyers with an exceptional opportunity to secure one of the Bays’ finest residences.
Designed to maximize its breathtaking outlook from every angle, the apartment evokes a sense of luxury akin to a private yacht, with elegant curved architectural lines and expansive glass-balustrade terraces framing the ever-changing seascape.
Entertaining is effortless, with timber-floored open-plan living and dining areas flowing seamlessly outdoors, complemented by a separate family/media room also positioned to capture the stunning views. At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen is a statement in both form and function, featuring exquisite honed marble extending from the waterfall island to the splashback, a walk-in pantry, and premium Gaggenau appliances.
Two generous double bedrooms each enjoy their own captivating outlooks, while the beautifully appointed bathrooms showcase hand-selected fittings, rich timber detailing, and sculptural marble basins, creating a timeless sense of sophistication. A separate laundry has been thoughtfully integrated into the floor plan for everyday practicality.
Accessed via a private car lift, the apartment offers secure triple-car garaging alongside a substantial storage room or hobby studio.
Positioned on the edge of Saint Heliers Village, a short stroll via the nearby walkway places you within moments of boutique shopping, vibrant cafés, the library and the beach. Zoned for sought-after schools and with convenient public transport links to Central Business District , this remarkable residence will appeal to downsizers, retirees, lock-and-leave buyers and those seeking an exceptional coastal retreat in one of Auckland’s most desirable seaside locations.
