Perched on the tranquil shores of Pt Chevalier, this is more than a home - it's a legacy. A timeless sanctuary that has captivated hearts for nearly a century, this extraordinary residence stands as one of the suburb's true landmarks.
Almost 20 years ago, its current owners - an experienced husband-and-wife real estate duo - finally claimed the home they had long admired. Recognising its rarity and unmatched appeal, they set a record for Pt Chevalier.
Occupying 1,492m2 of prime waterfront land across two titles, 15 Lynch Street commands one of the largest private coastal holdings in the Western Bays. The views stretch from the Sky Tower and Harbour Bridge to Meola Reef and the Chelsea Sugar Factory, with birdlife and the rhythm of the tide bringing daily calm and beauty. So complete is the sense of retreat that the owners sold their Matakana bach - life here feels like a permanent holiday.
The home blends classic Arts and Crafts character with modern sophistication. Generous proportions, natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow define the living experience. The flexible 320m2 floor plan includes:
- Family room and formal lounge
- 4 bedrooms, family bathroom, ensuite
- Guest suite with its own living area, bedroom, and ensuite - ideal for extended family, an au pair, guests or working from home
- Gym, separate laundry, and double garage
The heart of the home opens to a 75m2 entertainer's deck, overlooking the water and landscaped grounds which offer privacy and space for gatherings large or small. The waterfront platform invites yoga, kayaking, or paddleboarding, while a nearby boat ramp provides easy sea access. Potential to obtain a Harbour Board mooring licence for larger vessels. Vehicles are well catered for with off street parking for 7 cars including room for a boat.
Pt Chevalier's community spirit and lifestyle are second to none, with nearby cafes, sports clubs, parks and beach. Families appreciate top schooling - Pt Chevalier and St Francis Primary, Pasadena Intermediate, and Western Springs College and also serviced by private school bus routes. Well connected by cycleways and motorway links, it offers easy access to the city and airport.
Waterfront real estate has typically outperformed the wider residential market when it comes to capital gain over the last decade - not surprising given the value buyers place on waterfront living, privacy, the rarity factor and lifestyle offered.
15 Lynch Street is more than a property. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an iconic part of Auckland's waterfront heritage. It awaits its next custodians to continue the legacy.
