<b>"Treehouse Hideaway"</b> The unique retreat at number 65 Albany Heights Road will appeal to those with a passion for nature, as the residence presides over a lush wonderland of sprawling native bush. The architecturally-designed, 12-sided cedar house is suspended above six acres of land, enveloped and blending seamlessly with the environment and lending a treehouse effect. Within these whisper quiet surroundings, it's hugely beneficial that the property is located so close to surrounding amenities. The Albany Village is just down the hill, where shopping, restaurants and cafes can be found amongst the township. The enormous Westfield Mall and Albany Mega Centre provide a huge array of stores - while Massey University, Albany Junior and Senior High, Kristin and Pinehurst Schools are in easy proximity and close to bus routes. It's also handy to the tip of the stunning East Coast Bays, offering access to some of the North Shore's most beautiful beaches. A true one-of-a-kind, the design and layout has been expertly undertaken and showcases the breathtaking outlook from every angle. Set over three levels, there is not a neighbour in sight and it's just the native birds who are regular visitors. Entry level is where the main living and dining is done. A blend of tiles and carpets identify the zones, with a cathedral-ceilinged dining area and a wood fireplace in the lounge for cosy winter nights. Huge windows and bifold doors bring the outside in, and flow out to the extensive North-facing decking that wraps all the way around the level. From here the breathtaking views of your very own resplendent forest are captured, overlooking a significant natural area. Tuis, Wood Pigeons and Rosellas play and sing amongst the ferns, Punga and majestic Kauri trees - it's a wonderland just waiting to be explored. Like the bathrooms throughout, the kitchen features lovely Rimu detailing and offers generous work spaces. Upstairs the mezzanine office/ study is an inspirational spot, staring straight out at the verdant views through the large picture windows. The master suite has a large dressing room, bathroom and private balcony. The lower level is perfect for kids, with a central lounge and two mirror-image bedrooms that are separated by a bathroom. Bifolds open out to the deck that has a spa pool - the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine amongst the trees in complete privacy - and overlooks the garden and trickling water feature. The vendors have loved the privacy and serenity of the house, plus how little maintenance the property requires. While still enjoying a huge native "garden" there is no tending to be done and the cedar and aluminum joinery that make up the structure are built to stand the test of time.
