87A Landscape Road Mount Eden, Auckland City

Tranquil, tropical and tantalisingly tasteful: there's no other way to describe this stunning home that sits in a lush, secure enclave of Mount Eden.

Ushering in an aesthetic appeal suited to contemporary thinkers, the 234m2 four-bedroom home provides the ultimate low-key luxury lifestyle. Think monochrome design, elegant marble and lush surroundings.

And, sweeping out from the open-plan hub is the north-facing pool area; you're going to want to bring the beers and the BBQ for guaranteed sun-filled fun.

Take a look at the rest of the highlights:

• A beautifully-finished kitchen with granite, marble and monochrome cabinetry. Add in the butler's pantry and you've got tons of elegant storage and all the mod cons
• Work from home in the private study office located downstairs
• The four bedrooms or three-bedroom plus lounge/movie room are all upstairs and the large master has its own en-suite
• The verdant, fully-fenced outdoor space is manicured and low-maintenance, the perfect combination
• Additional off-street parking for friends

If that isn't enough, the location will tip the balance. Moments away from some of Auckland's best eateries, top schooling and with ever so easy access to the CBD, it's a bourgeois paradise.
