Some homes simply make an impression from the moment you arrive, and this exceptional Glendowie residence is one of them.

Privately positioned on the seaward side of Riddell Road, this substantial residence occupies a rare, flat north-facing 697sqm (mol) section, offering a wonderfully peaceful setting with sweeping views across the Tamaki Estuary, Hauraki Gulf, Browns Island and towards Half Moon Bay.

Designed with an unmistakable emphasis on quality, scale and effortless entertaining, the approximately 358sqm home unfolds with a remarkable connection between its interior and exterior spaces. Floor-to-ceiling sliders open the main living areas to an impressive outdoor entertaining room, where louvres, mesh blinds, infrared heating and considered landscaping allow the space to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

The sense of arrival continues inside. Honed white Carrara Italian marble features prominently across the ground floor, while the generous proportions, premium materials and considered detailing create a level of refinement rarely found in a home of this scale. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with Gaggenau and Bosch appliances, while multiple living spaces provide room to entertain, relax and retreat.

Beyond the living spaces, the resort-style setting comes into its own. An 11-metre gas-heated lap pool takes centre stage, recently renovated and complemented by a quartz cascade waterfall, while mature landscaping creates a private and beautifully established backdrop. The result is an environment that feels remarkably removed from the everyday, despite being so close to everything.

Accommodation is equally impressive, with four generously proportioned bedrooms, including a ground-floor guest suite with its own ensuite, alongside a well-appointed master retreat and dedicated study. A separate theatre room and integrated sound throughout key areas of the home further enhance the sense of comfort and versatility.

Yet perhaps the greatest appeal is the lifestyle. St Heliers Beach, Churchill Park and some of the area's most sought-after schools are all within easy reach, including Glendowie Primary, St Heliers Primary and Glendowie College. Here, the tranquillity of a secluded coastal setting is paired with the convenience of one of Auckland's most desirable eastern suburbs.

For those seeking a residence where architectural quality, considered design and an exceptional sense of lifestyle come together, this home presents a rare opportunity. Substantial in scale yet remarkably private, sophisticated yet welcoming, this is a home designed not simply to be admired, but to be lived in and enjoyed.

A rare seaward-side address, an extraordinary coastal outlook and a home of exceptional quality. 381 Riddell Road is Glendowie living at its finest.
