10/97 Jervois Road, Herne Bay

Perched above the blue ribbon suburb of Herne Bay, Shangri-La is an icon of enduring appeal — one that’s never gone out of style. With only 15 residences, each occupying an entire floor, this landmark 1980s building is a masterclass in privacy, space, and timeless design. Here, you live above it all. A panoramic 270-degree view stretches from sunrise over the Waitematā to city lights at dusk — a full sweep of Auckland’s most iconic landmarks. From ferries and superyachts to the full city skyline, the harbour is your ever-changing backdrop. This is not a typical city tower. Set apart with generous space around it, Shangri-La offers a rare sense of openness and serenity that’s increasingly hard to find. The secure lift opens directly into your residence, providing the independence and ease of a private home — elevated and secure. Three bedrooms, a conservatory, two living zones, and a study provide exceptional scale and flexibility. The kitchen enjoys front-row harbour views and is supported by a walk-in pantry and separate laundry — well appointed and ready to enjoy, yet offering scope to refresh or redesign to suit your personal style. The residence is comfortable and entirely liveable as it stands, while inviting the opportunity to infuse your own design flair — a rare chance to blend character, scale, and location with your vision. Comfort is assured with ducted air-conditioning, underfloor heating, upgraded thermomesh joinery, and a double garage positioned directly opposite the entry. Recently transformed grounds include a newly landscaped pool, pool house, and tennis court — creating a true residential resort experience, with the freedom to lock up and leave at will. Architecturally distinctive and more fashionable than ever, Shangri-La is part of a design renaissance — where bold form meets refined function, and nostalgia meets contemporary living....
