Once enjoyed by a high-ranking diplomat, this grand 588m² residence sits on an expansive 2,415m² land parcel, offering a level of space and privacy virtually unmatched in the North Shore Bays area. Commandingly elevated, the property treats you to breathtaking, panoramic sea views of Rangitoto Island alongside the glittering city lights of Takapuna and the Sky Tower.
