With its neatly clipped box hedges and handsome façade, 12 Neligan Avenue represents a very rare opportunity to own a superior executive residence just a stone’s throw from the beach at Kohimarama.
Designed by Geoff Luke, of Geoff Luke Architecture – whose work features prominently in the suburb, the masonry and weatherboard home was completed in 2012 and has been meticulously maintained and beautifully upgraded by the current owners.
It sits on a convenient, freehold, level, corner site in the heart of this sought-after Eastern Bays neighbourhood, and only a short walk to the local amenities, including shops, cafes, schools and sporting grounds.
The Cleaves at Bayleys, Remuera are marketing the freehold property and say that this is a dwelling designed for maximum flexibility and an easy, airy, luxurious seaside lifestyle.

“The home itself is a fantastic alternative to easy-care apartment living – with a glass encased lift to each level.”
The top floor has a large open plan well-appointed kitchen – with a handy pantry and an expansive living and dining space opening to an elevated deck, which is ideal for alfresco dining and barbecues in summer, with views to Rangitoto and the harbour.
The master bedroom suite is complete with walk-in closet and an elegant, tiled bathroom.

Next floor down, on the mid-level, is another wonderful living area, set up as a cosy media room with its own bar, plus a home office, while one of two bedrooms serves as a home gym for the current owners. There’s another full-sized bathroom and a north-facing deck – for lounging in the sunshine.
On the ground floor, there are no steps from the entry or the oversized double garage creating easy access to the home and the option to have a superb fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own living, bedroom and bathroom.
“The possibilities are endless,” says Peter. “You could use it for guests, teenagers, or live-in help.”

While the 399sqm house occupies a compact 450sqm site, coverage has been expertly planned for maximum privacy and to cater for nearly every lifestyle. The alternative to the beach and ocean is your own heated 10-metre lap pool for summer recreation.
The agent says that with extra off-street parking, views to the harbour and still a flat walk to the best the waterfront has to offer this extremely well-thought-out home really does represent so many options for a new owner.
12 Neligan Avenue is in zone for St Ignatius Catholic School, Kohimarama School and Selwyn College, all of which have excellent reputations. The CBD is easily reached, via Tamaki Drive, and there is regular public transport on the doorstep.
“This really is a pretty special opportunity and a rare find,” says Peter Cleave.
12 Neligan Avenue in Kohimarama, Auckland, is on the market for sale by a set date closing April 10.
