A Milford beachfront home, designed by architect John D’Anvers, is one of approximately 55, high profile New Zealand properties being showcased by Harcourts Cooper and Co to the international market at the World Expo in Shanghai, China, in August 2010. The elegant, five bedroom home has been owned by the same family since it was built approximately ten years ago, and is now being offered for sale on the open market.

Presenting a somewhat austere face from the road with its imposing, dark-hued concrete block and vertical cedar skin, this classic 70s home welcomes you into its heart the moment you walk through the front door. Scoot up the wide, open staircase to the living and entertaining hub, and you’ll know you’ve come home. There’s a large, separate lounge – complete with wood-burner for cosy winter nights – with a picture window that takes in the waters of nearby Campbells Bay beach. The adjoining, open plan dining room and kitchen is a warm, welcoming gathering place for family and friends, opening onto a BBQ deck which overlooks nearby Centennial Park and Pupuke Golf Course. A spiral staircase leads to the wonderful outdoor living and entertaining jewel of this home – tiled and landscaped in a tropical theme, with a large in-ground swimming pool and spa, as well as a pool-house-cum-games-room.
