TENDER BROUGHT FORWARD - CLOSING TOMORROW, TUESDAY 23 FEBRUARY @ 4PM

This luxury lakefront home is part of Ville sul Lago, an exclusive complex of just four standalone residences on Milford's sought-after Shakespeare Road. It showcases European-inspired design and magnificent lake views, plus has direct water access for kayaking and paddle boarding.

Location is a huge drawcard here, with the elite address just a quick, flat walk from Milford beach and village, which offers a wide range of cafes, restaurants and bars, as well as boutique, supermarket and shopping mall. Smales Farm's dining and transport hub is an easy stroll in the other direction, as is North Shore Hospital.

Grand automatic entrance gates and a water feature provide a secure and private environment for residents. Number four has been crafted to offer the very best in living and entertaining, as well as maximise dazzling lake vistas. A classic, elegant interior design sees polished timber floors complemented with a marble fireplace in the ground floor lounge and dining room, which flows out to expansive entertaining decks and spa pool. From here, stone steps arrive down to the water's edge and private jetty.

The kitchen is connected to the lounge via a servery, and overlooks the more casual living area and private courtyard. The double garage has internal access and opens at both ends, to allow to house a boat or trailer.

An impressive sweeping staircase arrives at the top floor, where the luxurious master retreat enjoys the best views of the house - with Rangitoto rising above the lake - and has a private balcony, an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. The two remaining bedrooms and office area are serviced by the main bathroom up here.

This property is a must-view for discerning buyers who seek lakefront luxury in a central Milford location.
