21 Siota Crescent Kohimarama, Auckland City

The Rangitoto and Waitemata Harbour panorama from this 366m executive residence, constructed in 2004 with cavity, certainly helps to ground you. Set well back from the road at the end of a prestigious cul-de-sac, this grand family home, has a raft of features appealing to sociable families with the easy life in mind and what better way to watch the action unfold on Course D of the 2021 Americas Cup right from your deck.

Each level has its own special place with ground floor given over to the essential indulgences in life with a bespoke oak-finish wine or whiskey tasting room/cellar and adjacent media room for your viewing pleasures. A bedroom here may suit the live-in nanny, guests, older family members or act as granny's quarters. Open plan living and entertaining spaces on the magnificent central floor, flow out through exterior stackers onto an oversize balcony bringing your ocean and island views into full effect.

All-weather cover, both fixed and louvred, guarantees year-round use for you and a countless number of guests. The kitchen, a monochromatic triumph, is large, and well equipped including an island bench with marble waterfall breakfast bar and built-in chiller fridges delivering the optimum element on an entertainer's wish-list. Five bedroom accommodation and a home office are all served by four beautiful tiled bathrooms and the opulent master suite on the top floor comprises an ensuite and walk-in dressing room.

Parking for five cars - two of them in a spacious double garage set on a private north-facing site with landscaped gardens and low-to-no maintenance sets this appealing property apart. In one of the best streets in the bay, close to Madills Farm, Kohimarama School and a quiet stroll to the Kohi beach boardwalk for cafes, a swim or a saunter with the pooch. A must see!
