Capturing unobstructed lake and sea views and presenting a truly exceptional lifestyle, this Killarney Street property offers lock-up-and-leave-luxury at its show-stopping best.  The three-bedroom residence is part of the sought-after Lakelands complex in the heart of Takapuna and offers space, flexibility and privacy for those at all stages of life.

Lakelands is one of the most prestigious, sought-after lifestyle destinations in Takapuna. The boutique gated community is designed for discerning purchasers who seek the safety and convenience of a low maintenance home, but who won’t relinquish space, style or luxury on any level. Perfectly positioned to capture the very best the area has to offer, the location is only a moment’s walk from the lake, beach, Bruce Mason Centre and all the restaurants, cafes, bars and shops of the vibrant North Shore hub.

Access to the complex is via an electric security gate, which opens through to the wonderfully established, landscaped gardens and visitor parking areas. Residents of Lakelands share use of the tropical resort-style swimming pool and barbeque cabana, with all areas kept looking pristine through the body corporate. The European-style villas have recently been painted, showcasing sophisticated, classic exterior living environments.

Apartment 8 is arguably the best of the 13-unit development, enjoying a north-west aspect on the lakefront side and a good-sized tropical garden. As the end residence of the block, it enjoys wide dimensions and excellent light and sun, as well as panoramic views across Lake Pupuke, the Hauraki Gulf and Rangitoto. Rising up over three levels, all fully immersed in the view, generous decks, two living areas and abundant storage mean the design lends itself to sensational living and entertaining.

The second floor entry level is dedicated to living, dining and the kitchen, with the lake immediately visible through the front door. Polished timber floors and an elegant, contemporary colour palette are enhanced with high ceilings and the high-quality architectural features throughout. The kitchen is at the centre of the room, with two living areas either side. One a smaller casual space with breakfast bar, the other a voluminous lounge and dining space that flows through bifold doors to the expansive deck. From here the dazzling outlook is ever-changing, with all the activity on the lake as well as the glittering gulf in the distance. It’s a suntrap out here, plus the outdoor fireplace makes for wonderful all-season entertaining. White shutters are a strong feature throughout, creating privacy when required and conveniently, there’s a powder room on this level also.

Accommodation is located on the top floor. Two bedrooms are found on one side, both enjoying views of Rangitoto and sharing the main bathroom and bath. The decadent master suite has a private balcony enjoying the best views of the house, as well as a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. On the ground floor, there’s an oversized, internally accessed double garage and storage area. Outside, more under house storage is the perfect home for beach gear and lake toys, while the terrace steps down to well-established tropical gardens – there’s even enough room for a trampoline.

The significant proportions, spectacular views, great security and incredible location make Lakelands a true lifestyle destination. It is in zone for Westlake Girls High School, Takapuna Normal and Takapuna Grammar, close to motorway onramps for commuting to the CBD, and an easy walk from absolutely everything Takapuna has to offer.
