18 Masons Avenue, Herne Bay, Auckland

Contemporary Herne Bay haven

A sanctuary of scale, symmetry and sun-soaked sophistication, this masterclass in modern design redefines elevated family living in one of Auckland's most prestigious streets.

Anchored by a striking pavilion-style silhouette, the home unfolds across three luxuriously curated levels, with the heart of the residence designed for effortless entertaining.

Lush oak floors lead to the expansive open plan living and dining zone, crowned by a state-of-the-art kitchen with extensively appointed scullery. Floor-to-ceiling sliders open to reveal an expansive north-west facing wraparound deck, seamlessly connecting to a Louvretec-covered al fresco dining zone, sun-drenched evergreen lawn and statement swimming pool. From morning coffees to sunset soirees, this is an entertainer's paradise.

For quiet moments, retreat to the second lounge at the front of the home, offering views of lush greenery by day, and an intimate snug by night. Upstairs, five bedrooms provide generous accommodation for all. The resplendent north-facing master suite, with views to the Harbour Bridge, is completed with walk-in robe and opulent ensuite. A large, luxe family bathroom, additional WC, plus dedicated office space overlooking the Sky Tower, support both functional family life and flexible working arrangements.

Downstairs, the double internal garage is accompanied by an additional large space ideal as a gym, music room or studio, offering further versatility.

The location is quiet, family-friendly and inarguably prestigious. Saunter down to Herne Bay Beach, where picnics and paddleboarding beckon, while beloved Bayfield School is just a stroll away. Soak up the Herne Bay lifestyle, where the shopping and dining delights of Jervois Road are at your fingertips, and Ponsonby and the CBD both nearby. This is the ultimate contemporary haven for growing families.
