GILT-EDGED

40 Myres Road, Otumoetai


Desired since the ’60s and undergoing significant previous renovations with local Architect Ian Thorn, this elevated waterfront property has been in its current ownership for over three decades. With its central location, over 2,000 m2 of maturely landscaped grounds, water views, and a long private driveway, this property is a rare package indeed. Beautifully put together yet still offering boundless potential, this home's continued exclusivity and your investment are assured.

FEATURING


A prime city fringe location on a substantially elevated waterfront site. A long-held property of a nature rarely available to the market.

The house site enjoys open north through east aspect water views and an outdoor living and heated pool area bathed in sunshine year round.

A traditional entertainers’ home with a formal sunny lounge and separate dining room connecting off the entry foyer.

The updated kitchen is sizable and a perfect watch-keep for the pool connecting to this area through folding service windows, perfect for summer living and entertaining.

A large family room with two defined areas, both with outdoor living connections, is open to the kitchen and could support several use arrangements to suit your needs.

A dedicated office, laundry room, and guest powder room complete the first floor.

The first floor is all about accommodation, offering three well-proportioned double bedrooms and wardrobes and a sizable master bedroom with a generous north-facing private balcony and walk-in wardrobe. Two large bathrooms are offered on this level.

The standalone double garage connects to a useful workshop, hobby or storage space added by architectural designer Trevor Jones in 2003.

Mature landscaping enhances the privacy and exclusivity of this site, some of which, including the pool surrounds, previously benefited from a significant update by Mark Cashmore.
