A home of originality, heart, and enduring quality — 126 Totara Drive stands as a one-off architectural design, loved by just one family since it was built. Now, for the first time, this distinctive residence invites a new chapter, ready for the next owners to make their memories in one of Pukete’s most beautiful settings.
Stepping through the front door, the home immediately impresses with its bold design and natural warmth. The curved brick feature wall sets the tone — a statement of craftsmanship and individuality. Soaring timber ceilings and striking lines create a sense of volume and light, while the tall windows in the main living area draw the outdoors in, framing a serene green outlook and bathing the room in afternoon sun. A built-in window seat is perfectly positioned to catch the light — the ideal spot to unwind with a book or take in the calm surroundings.
Designed for family living, the floorplan offers incredible versatility. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms are complemented by three generous living areas, providing ample space for both connection and privacy. A separate rumpus and office room adds flexibility — perfect for teenagers, hobbies, or working from home. Year-round comfort is ensured with multiple heat pumps strategically placed throughout the home, keeping every corner cosy in winter and cool in summer.
The kitchen is positioned to enjoy views across Braithwaite Park, allowing you to stay connected to both family and nature while preparing meals. Entertaining flows seamlessly outdoors to the private courtyard and terraced patio — ideal for summer barbeques, alfresco dining, and relaxed evenings under the open sky.
Practicality pairs beautifully with design, featuring a spacious double garage complete with an adjoining store room — providing excellent storage for tools, sports gear, or lifestyle equipment.
Backing directly onto Braithwaite Park, this property offers an enviable connection to green space, with river walks and cycling tracks right at your doorstep. St Andrews Golf Club, local cafés, and sought-after schools are only moments away, reinforcing why this address is so tightly held.
With its architectural personality, timeless materials, and genuine warmth, 126 Totara Drive is more than a home — it’s a rare design statement and a place where family stories are made.
