Milford, North Shore City

Positioned on one of Milford's most tightly held seaward-side streets, just moments from Milford Beach, 23 Muritai Road presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial near-new architectural residence that perfectly balances family functionality with effortless coastal living.Designed by renowned Auckland architect Alan Shanahan, this beautifully crafted 350sqm home has been thoughtfully configured to maximise natural light, privacy and year-round entertaining. Every aspect of the design has been considered, creating a home that is equally suited to growing families, professionals or those seeking a future-proofed layout without compromising on luxury.A striking double-height entrance sets the tone, leading to ground-floor living where generous proportions and seamless indoor-outdoor flow define the home. Two separate living areas provide excellent flexibility, with a dedicated media room featuring a gas fireplace opening through to covered outdoor entertaining beneath a louvre roof. Alongside the open-plan living, dining and designer kitchen extend effortlessly to a sun-soaked patio and landscaped lawn, complete with a swim spa.Large-format tiled flooring enhances the sense of scale throughout the living areas, while ducted heating across both levels and underfloor heating in the bathrooms provide exceptional comfort in every season.A generous ground-floor bedroom, currently set up as an office, enjoys excellent late sun and direct outdoor connection, making it equally ideal as a work-from-home office, guest accommodation or fourth bedroom and serviced by a full bathroom.Upstairs, accommodation is exceptional. Three generous bedroom suites each enjoy their own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, an increasingly rare feature that offers privacy and independence for family members or guests. The master suite is an exceptionally spacious retreat, complete with a sitting area and a glimpse of the sea and Rangitoto Island.
