46 Lawrence Street, Herne Bay, Auckland

Grand and iconic

First time on market in 33 years, radiating the refined grace of classic period architecture, this handsome 1910s residence has been transformed into an elegant home that effortlessly combines heritage warmth with contemporary comfort to create the perfect haven for modern families.

Stunningly situated on Herne Bay's prestigious northern slopes just a stroll from the local beaches in one direction and Jervois Road's delights in the other, this distinguished property is designed across three immaculate levels.

Entertaining is a seamless experience from the crisp yet inviting open plan kitchen and dining that flows to the sun-soaked outdoor patio for afternoon meals over the long, hot summer. Occupying a 489sqm (more or less) slice of premium land that has been lovingly landscaped yet requires minimal maintenance, the garden is beautifully established with an old-world charm and provides multiple places to play or relax beneath the mature trees.

Dual living rooms ensure plenty of choice when it comes to hosting indoors, either in the large living room with elevated views or the sitting room for peaceful moments, which opens to the front balcony so you can enjoy morning coffees in the sunshine.

Also on this level is the pristine family bathroom and a bedroom with garden outlook. On the upper level are three further bedrooms including the master with extensive wardrobing, plus extra storage in the attic, all complemented by a second bathroom with large shower and dual basins.

Super-sized triple internal garaging with laundry and storage, plus further off-street parking, completes this sophisticated sanctuary in zone for Ponsonby Primary and Intermediate and within easy reach of the city.
