This substantial clifftop estate in Waiake enjoys incredible sea views

Number 6 Sharon Road showcases mind-blowing views of the Hauraki Gulf. Located in a prestigious Waiake neighbourhood brimming with million-dollar properties, this exclusive residence will impress those on the quest for the perfect piece of freehold waterfront land.

Built by the owners and completed in 1986, this residence was undoubtedly the most illustrious clifftop estate of the street at the time. Due to the precision planning, masterful design and top-quality choice of materials, it’s stood the test of time and has remained largely untouched since then. This lends a certain retro vibe to the interior, but one that can be enhanced and modernised to complement the solid bones, restoring it to its former glory with a personal contemporary twist.

Sharon Road is one of the East Coast Bays’ most coveted streets, thanks to its position just above Waiake Beach, which is just an easy walk down the hill from home. It’s also within walking distance to the busy Browns Bay village, filled with cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.

Concrete block, brick and cedar have been used to construct the three-level home, with four bedrooms throughout each enjoying their own ensuite, taking the total to 4-and-a-half bathrooms. The proportions are truly impressive, with the view immediately visible through the front door and with steps leading down to the dramatic formal lounge. Rich rimu joinery lends elegance to the interior aesthetic, enhancing the high ceiling stud and incredible outlook.

Walls of glass on the seaward side bring the outside in and the deck has a glass balustrade to take full advantage of the unobstructed, 180-degree panorama. From the level lawns and pohutukawa-lined cliff, the view extends out across Waiake swimming beach and boat ramp, to The Tor, Winstone’s Cove and the vast blue expanse of the Hauraki Gulf beyond.

The kitchen features parquet floors and over looks the formal dining area, which captures views down the coast to the south. A home office area opens through to an enormous pavilion-style games/ rumpus room at the front of the home, large enough for a full-sized billiards table and bar. This opens out to a large wrap-around deck.

The decadent master is the only bedroom on entry level and boasts an adjacent nursery and ensuite with bath. The remaining three bedrooms are located upstairs, each opening out to an interconnected deck. The top driveway area benefits from more than enough space for boats or motorhomes and arrives down to more space below, with a double internal garage, double carport and large storage area.

This is, without question, one the most exciting waterfront prospects on the North Shore. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an astute buyer looking to add value and create their own coastal sanctuary.
