About this property

Waterfront Home with Sky Tower Views | 5 Mins to Takapuna Beach

Welcome to The Ivy by Homello, a contemporary waterfront retreat between Takapuna and Devonport, with beautiful harbour and Auckland skyline views.

• 5 mins to Takapuna Beach, shops & cafés
• 10 mins to Devonport village & waterfront
• Approx. 13 mins to Auckland CBD off-peak
• Sleek, design-led single-level home with premium finishes
• Beautifully landscaped private garden with generous lawn space
• Outdoor lounge and dining areas designed for long afternoons outside
• BBQ for relaxed lunches and dinners at home
• Distinctive ivy-covered exterior surrounded by greenery
• Beautiful Sky Tower, water & Harbour Bridge views

From the moment you step inside, The Ivy feels light, calm and connected to its waterfront setting. Clean architectural lines, premium finishes and thoughtfully chosen furnishings give the home a refined contemporary feel, while large windows and skylights draw natural light through the open-plan living spaces.

Mornings are made for coffee with a view before heading out to Takapuna Beach, wandering the cafés and shops nearby or spending a few hours exploring Devonport. When you return, oversized sliding doors can be opened to the garden, creating an effortless flow between the kitchen, living room and outdoor spaces.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully finished contemporary kitchen with quality cabinetry, generous bench space and everything needed for cooking at home. Prepare an easy breakfast before a day at the beach, pour a glass of wine while dinner is cooking, or gather around the table for a relaxed evening together.

As the afternoon winds down, the landscaped garden becomes one of the best places to be. Settle into the outdoor lounge, stretch out on the lawn or fire up the BBQ for dinner outside. Across the water, the Auckland skyline, Sky Tower and Harbour Bridge form the backdrop as the light changes and the city begins to glow.

When it is time to slow down, retreat inside to the comfortable living area and Smart TV, or settle into one of three thoughtfully furnished bedrooms, each prepared with hotel-quality linen for a comfortable night’s sleep.

The Ivy is also exceptionally easy to live in. High-speed Wi-Fi, premium Miele laundry appliances, off-street parking and a single-level layout make longer stays feel just as effortless as a weekend away.
