5/198 Hurstmere Road Takapuna, North Shore City

Capturing afternoon light and commanding Lake Pupuke vistas, this elegantly appointed 1960s-era apartment is just a short walk from Takapuna beach's cosmopolitan retail precinct. Tucked well back off the road, the well-kept 12-unit brick-clad lakeside complex sitting close to exceptional amenities, leisure pursuits, and commuter routes offers peace-loving downsizers and couples a superior coastal retreat or home away from home.

Inspired by a sense of contemporised European flair the light-filled, 80 sqm (approx.) upper floor unit is dominated by its remarkable north-facing bush-framed water panoramas. Original timber floors underpin a modern kitchen featuring composite stone breakfast bar benchtop, ample cabinetry storage, and cleverly integrated Bosch appliances. Large picture windows define an open plan living and dining area where seamless flow to a glass and stainless steel balustrade protected balcony extends both night and day entertainment options. A heat pump spreads a welcome cosy warmth to both this area and the adjacent primary bedroom also facing the water and complete with inviting walk in closet. The second double bedroom has a built in wardrobe with both share a fully tiled updated bathroom with double-basin floating vanity and sizable shower. The stacker laundry cupboard includes a tub while the property comes with its own allocated separate storage unit and single carport.

The unit title apartment sits in Takapuna Primary, Intermediate, and Grammar school zones as well as Westlake Girls' and Boys' High Schools. Close to the parks and reserves hugging Lake Pupuke shoreline and handy for golf courses, beaches, and bays, this is a rare opportunity to have the best of both worlds in an unparalleled location.
