A bespoke creation by Design Builders, completed in 2024, this remarkable home embodies architectural innovation and functional elegance across a beautifully executed split-level design. Every element has been carefully considered, resulting in a home that is as effortlessly liveable as it is visually striking. The architectural flow follows the natural contour of the site, with two major levels and several cleverly designed sub-levels that enhance both functionality and connection to the landscape.
At street level, the welcoming entry introduces refined living. Here, the master suite features a luxurious ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, accompanied by a dedicated office or fifth bedroom, a guest powder room, and internal-access double garaging.
The heart of the home unfolds one level below - a light-filled living domain framed by expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and flowing seamlessly to a floating deck that captures elevated views across the landscape. The designer kitchen, complete with scullery, anchors the space with style and practicality, creating the perfect hub for everyday living and entertaining. Insulated to the latest code, comfort is ensured through ducted air conditioning and a Pyro Classic freestanding wood burner, delivering warmth and ambience in the cooler seasons. The property also benefits from a Master Builder’s Warranty, offering additional peace of mind for the future.
The lower levels reveal outstanding versatility. A self-contained suite, thoughtfully soundproofed for privacy and with its own private entrance, deck, and heat pump, includes an ensuite and kitchenette, ideal for extended family, independent living, or an income-earning Airbnb retreat. A level below, two additional bedrooms, each with its own heat pump, are complemented by a family bathroom and separate toilet; one opens to a covered verandah with space for a sauna or peaceful outdoor retreat.
An incredible added bonus is the extensive under-house storage, offering a range of possibilities, along with a lockable storage room - ideal for a wine cellar. The included spa pool adds a touch of daily indulgence, providing a private spot to unwind at the end of the day. Low-maintenance, landscaped grounds complete the picture, ensuring an effortless lock-and-leave lifestyle.
A showcase of craftsmanship, flexibility, and design integrity, this home will captivate retirees, professionals, and families with older children or young adults, particularly those seeking a modern lifestyle with income potential. 64 Durham Drive stands as a testament to contemporary Hawke’s Bay living at its finest.
