First impressions count and this iconic Waipukurau residence does not disappoint. Designed by renowned, award-winning architect John Scott in the mid fifties, this magnificent property is true to form of any of his masterpieces. On arrival you are drawn into the grand central foyer, where a sweeping circular staircase takes you on an architectural journey sprawling across two levels. The property has been designed as two homes in one, offering a fully self-contained one bedroom "annex" linked to the main house via the substantial integral garaging complete with wine cellar. Think multi-generational living for a dependant family member, semi-independent young adult, or potential Airbnb income stream. Upstairs the elegantly styled formal and family living and dining spaces cohesively flow together while large cedar windows and doors blur the boundaries between inside and out providing easy access to the private sanctuary of the beautifully landscaped and professionally maintained gardens on the enviable 1,250m2 site. Gather here on the courtyard in the north facing sun and soak up the atmosphere of the sweet-smelling perfection that surrounds you. Two generous bedrooms are also positioned to the upper level, with a truly luxurious "master suite" comprising of spacious bedroom with Juliet style balconies, dressing room, ensuite with spa bath and magnificent views west over town toward the Ruahine ranges. From its highly desirable and sought after hill top location, it's an easy stroll through the nearby reserve to the shops and eateries in town. A home of such remarkable presence, you can't help but be enthralled by all that is on offer.
