When talking location, it doesn't get much better than The Lakes at 212 Hurstmere Road in Takapuna. This peaceful, prestigious address is surrounded by the North Shore's top real estate and backs on to the shores of Lake Pupuke. The exclusive position savours and maximises the lifestyle on offer - the beach is only a five minute walk from home, along with the boutique and mall shopping, bars, cafes and restaurants of the area.

This luxury enclave of townhouses were designed by renowned architect Neville Price and unit 14 is the only stand alone of the collection. It's a stylish, professional three-bedroom retreat that has seen the benefits of loving owners of 20 years, but also has scope for the new owner to add their personal stamp.

The established and beautifully maintained grounds of the estate add to its magnificent appeal. A tree-lined driveway ensures the complex is positioned away from the road, and thoughtful design ensures that neighbours don't encroach on each other's space. A brick pathway leads down through flourishing trees and landscaped gardens to the swimming pool area, where century old Pohutukawas flank the lake front. Enjoy the beautiful lake views from here while enjoying summer barbeques with friends in the sun.

This townhouse has a covered double carport garage, excellent storage cupboards, plus two large bonus storage rooms that can house anything from workshop / luggage to wine. Modern carpet complements the light, bright interior colour scheme, and the high stud enhances the feeling of space inside. The granite kitchen and elongated dining space has tiles underfoot, and these have been continued as an extension of the inside out to the intimate alfresco living outside.
This townhouse is the only stand alone home in the enclave, and the only one with own use garden and lawn. Mature plantings create sublime privacy - the bougainvillea bursts with colour in season plus lovely level lawn and manicured gardens around the corner. The spacious north facing lounge is flooded with warmth and light through the substantial glass sliders,
A wrought-iron spiral staircase takes you to the top level, where tall wooden peaked ceilings create drama and space. Two bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom with bath, while the master has its own generous tiled ensuite.

Offering safety, security and peace of mind in one of Auckland's most coveted locations, make this stylish sanctuary your own.
