8 Amiria Street St Marys Bay, Auckland City

From the Harbour Bridge sweeping right across to Bean Rock, this protected panorama of Westhaven and beyond is simply extraordinary. Perched on a tidy, flat 465m2 (more or less ) parcel in prestigious St Marys Bay, this four-bedroom home plus self-contained studio offers a front-row seat to Auckland's most intimate harbour views.

For over 50 years, the current owner has relished this ever-changing spectacle: a constant stream of maritime activity, from superyachts and sailing regattas to the daily rhythm of harbour life. By day, bask in all-day sun from the perfect northerly aspect; by night, the city lights sparkle in a truly cinematic display.

Renovated by Malcolm Walker in the late 1990s, the home presents versatile, light-filled living spaces - a blank canvas awaiting your sympathetic finessing. The self-contained studio provides excellent flexibility: extended family, an au pair, or an additional income stream through Airbnb. Outdoor living is private and well-oriented for entertaining, with a double carport plus room for a runabout boat tucked behind. Imagine watching Sail GP and harbour regattas without leaving your lounge.

St Marys Bay has long been celebrated as one of Auckland's most desirable inner-city suburbs - a rare combination of tranquillity and accessibility. Amiria Street is peaceful yet only moments from the action of Jervois Road, the CBD, and Auckland's waterfront. This is 24-carat city-fringe gold, offering Herne Bay buyers comparable prestige and scale with the unbeatable advantage of uninterrupted harbour views.

Lovingly maintained by the same owner - herself a former real estate agent - for more than five decades, this property is one of those "once in a lifetime" opportunities. She knows property, and in 50 years she has not seen a home in a better position. Now, a sea change beckons, and the baton is ready to be passed to the next custodian of this remarkable gem.

Please note one of the photos is a concept vision only... start imagining what could be!

Inspection is essential. The calibre of this home, in this position, with these views, is rarely available - and once gone, will not be repeated.
