Atop the cliffs in St Heliers sits 10 Springcombe Road, St Heliers, Auckland City, a stunning architecturally designed home that would look right at home in old-world Hollywood.

“We have always been inspired by the buildings of renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, so he was our inspiration: a comfortable, modern home fit for New Zealand living but which oozed his sophisticated mid-century ‘Hollywood Hills’ vibe.”

The result is a sprawling home spanning three levels that blends architectural elegance with multi-functional living.

Frank Lloyd Wright-esque rimu panelling and Cherrywood floors feature throughout the home, while imported American cedar cladding grounds the exterior.

Cantilevering, recessed lighting, exposed industrial beams, and in-built furniture all speak to the hyper-focused attention that has been given to the construction of this premium home.

The luxurious European kitchen features honed black granite benchtops and premium Miele appliances, while soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sun-drenched north-facing terraces blend the line between inside and out.

“The main floor is for family to gather, to enjoy barbecues on the terrace in the summer and lounge in front of the beautiful fireplace in winter. When the doors are open it feels like we’re sitting in the trees. It’s a home where we love to relax together.”

Five bedrooms, four bathrooms and three-car garaging make the home effortlessly versatile for families of all shapes and sizes. Upstairs, the principal bedroom and adjoining lounge enjoys sweeping views of the Hauraki Gulf.

“We’ve always kept that upper level for ourselves – it’s truly our escape from everything. We can sit up there in our own lounge and gaze at the views or read; it’s such a beautiful sanctuary away from everything.”

On the ground level, the media room and kitchenette spill out to the magnesium pool, sauna and spa. Beyond, the beautifully manicured Japanese-inspired garden features established trees that provide incomparable privacy and the feeling of total escapism.

“We’ve always felt so relaxed here. Even when we’ve been overseas, it’s always felt good to come home. The feeling of escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life the moment we close our gates – it’s just priceless.”

Ray White agent Richard Thode who is marketing the property says 10 Springcombe Road is one of those exceptional properties that rarely come to market.

“No expense has been spared in creating this high-spec architecturally designed home,” he says. “The privacy that the garden offers is second to none – you really can’t appreciate it until you see it – yet you enjoy expansive views from the top floor back towards the city and out to the water.

“It’s a timeless design that will continue to be stand-out for many years to come. It’s a privilege to bring a property like this to market.”

The memories are fond, but it’s time to move onto new adventures.

“The kids have flown the coop, so our home is too big for us now. It will be sad to leave, but we hold true to the memories we’ve created here. We’re excited for a new family to enjoy it here like we did.”
