Minnehaha - The Royal Hawaiian on the Golden Mile


A much-loved family home that reminds you of those happy times, lazy summer days in the tropics... enjoying the balmy sunshine, relaxing by the pool and cabana, and swimming in the cool waters of the ocean.

Located in one of the most coveted streets in Takapuna, this expansive two-level architectural 450m² residence is ideal for families, developers, land bankers and anyone wanting to secure blue-chip coastal property in the golden mile.

Originally constructed in the mid-1990's the home is comfortable as is but the now-dated interior would respond well to an internal renovation, or perhaps start from scratch and create your own contemporary masterpiece. Just under a 100 metres from the shore and Thorne Bay, this is without a doubt an exceptional and rare opportunity in the best of locations. This Mediterranean solid plaster home is grand and will take your breath away, it's still magnificent with an elegant lobby that leads on to a large family kitchen and multiple living areas.

There are six bedrooms and four bathrooms (including three ensuites) plus a study. Five of the bedrooms and the study are on the second level while a second master with ensuite on the ground level, catering for all ages. Enjoy an element of luxury with quality fixtures throughout, casual lounges, formal evening lounge, formal dining, the layout of this grand home offers you such an enviable opportunity to add your own touches and further enhance this idyllic position.

Framed by mature trees and manicured gardens, the 751m² level grounds provide an exquisite palette for exceptional entertaining with wide terraces and beautiful gardens. The property is secure behind electric gates, creating an undeniably private and peaceful coastal haven bathed in sunshine, with a fabulous pool and cabana... Living here is a dream come true.

All the doors open to the grounds and gardens merging the indoors with the outdoor spaces for alfresco living and hazy summer days. Considered one of the very best streets in Takapuna, Minnehaha Avenue is both incredibly peaceful and particularly safe. Vibrant Takapuna is just moments away with its fabulous shops, cafes, restaurants, weekend markets, and nightlife. Swims and daily beach walks along the coast form a part of everyday life with the walkway just two houses away, enjoying a morning coffee at one of the local cafes.

Easy access to the CBD, on bus Routes, in zones for premium schools, additional parking for cars. The exclusive location offers all the assurances one could wish for as to the strength of your investment.

Offered to the market by vendors who have cherished their time here, this lovingly-maintained home represents a golden opportunity to establish yourself in highly-desirable coastal Takapuna.
