Opulent Entertainer’s Haven
Commanding a prime position in the coveted golden mile of Orakei, this grand and opulent residence on Karori Crescent is a statement in refined coastal luxury. Overlooking Orakei Domain and the pristine sweep of Okahu Beach just ten minutes from the CBD, it is surrounded by some of Auckland’s most exclusive homes and has breathtaking views across Okahu Bay, Rangitoto and the Hauraki Gulf.
Fully renovated to an uncompromising standard, the home blends timeless elegance with contemporary sophistication and features ornate Italianate detailing and ceiling frescoes. Every detail has been carefully curated: imported European and American lighting, exquisite hardware and integrated smart technology elevate the residence to an exceptional level of luxury. There is an abundance of living and entertaining spaces, including an eight-car garage complete with an entertainment and media lounge — an exceptional retreat for collectors and hosts alike.
The main living level is designed for entertaining on a grand scale. Multiple living and dining zones flow effortlessly around a high-specification entertainer’s kitchen, while floor-to-ceiling doors open to a spectacular central courtyard.
A heated pool, spa pool and a beautifully appointed pool house create a private resort-like oasis, and sports enthusiasts will love the astro-turf sports court. Two large guest suites on this level provide exceptional flexibility, each with private living space, walk-in wardrobes, luxurious ensuites and their own separate access — ideal for teenagers, guests, live-in extended family or a discreet work-from-home business.
Upstairs, the master suite is a sanctuary of indulgence opening to a private north-facing balcony with sweeping harbour vistas. Two further bedrooms complete the upper level, all finished to the same exacting standard.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark home in one of New Zealand’s most prestigious streets.
