Crafted under a year ago and showcasing spectacular sea views, these two three-level townhouses set a new benchmark for lock-up-and-leave luxury in the bays. Each offers up to four bedrooms, or three with two living areas, with each level also accessed via a high-speed Italian lift.
Situated at the crest of Beach Road in Rothesay Bay, 11 Montgomery Avenue is a true coastal lifestyle destination, with both Rothesay Bay and Murrays Bay beaches within walking distance from home. The popular coastal walkway that links these beaches – and the remainder of the East Coast Bays – makes strolling to the larger villages of Mairangi and Browns Bays easy. Both offer a vast selection of shopping, dining and amenities, while the local shops present a choice of drinking, dining and shopping options.
Crafted from solid concrete and steel, these townhouses are built to last and are part of a boutique development of only three ultra-high-end, executive residences. The sleek structure’s glass, vertical cedar and dark commercial joinery construction is an introduction to the exemplary design detail that follows inside. All though the finish differs subtly between each home, every aspect of the interior design is beautifully appointed and of an impeccable standard.
11a enjoys a sought-after end position, which affords exceptional light and sun as well as a generous, easy-care outdoor living area. Entry level is on the ground floor, with light European Oak flooring, a 2.7m stud and white wall palette creating a stylish, modern aesthetic. As well as internal access to the large double garage, there is one bedroom with ensuite down here. This could easily double as a second lounge or teenage retreat.
The second floor is dedicated to accommodation, with two bedrooms serviced by the fully tiled bathroom and the decadent master enjoying its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Upstairs, there is an office space on the landing, before opening into the voluminous and open-plan living, dining and kitchen. Walls of glass on either side of the room capture incredible views to the north and south, over green valleys and out to the Hauraki Gulf. The dramatic chef’s kitchen features a suite of up-to-the-minute appliances, including a Zenith tap that instantly pours, hot, cold filtered, sparkling and boiling water. A large dark marble gas fireplace is the centrepiece of the room and the high-quality sound system and generous decking makes large-scale entertaining a pleasure.
11b has only a slightly different layout and colour scheme, but the same basic floorplan with the well-separated rooms and generous dimensions. Soft grey carpets on the first two levels becomes heated polished concrete on the top floor. There’s an impressive wine cellar up here, as well as the vast, open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. This position affords dazzling views to the north, with the sparkling Hauraki Gulf and all its islands extending out as far as the eye can see.
These lavish residences epitomise the very best in lock-up-and-leave comfort, convenience and style. The calibre of the design, finishes and spectacular views make them a truly appealing prospect for discerning buyers who seek a downsized lifestyle in a first-class coastal location.
