Completed less than five years ago, this high-spec architectural home offers the perfect balance of design integrity, comfort, and low-maintenance living in one of Westmere’s most desirable streets. Designed with privacy, light, and flow in mind, it’s a home of gallery-like proportions, refined detail, and enduring materials, a true turnkey opportunity for design-conscious buyers.

Behind the bold Siberian larch façade, treated in traditional Yakisugi (Japanese charred-timber method), the interior unfolds in layers of natural light and texture. The open-plan living connects seamlessly to landscaped courtyards and a private north-facing aspect. A striking staircase with solid oak treads and overhead skylights anchors the space, enhancing the home’s calm, contemporary aesthetic.

Designed by architect Guy Davies, the kitchen combines oak and elegant stone detailing with premium Blum hardware and both gas and induction cooking. Three double bedrooms open out to a private balcony, while bathrooms feature a sculptural Victoria + Albert stone bath and refined finishes throughout.

Additional features include Low-E double glazing, 2.7-metre ceilings, overheight internal doors, and four self-closing Velux skylights. The separate 21 sq m studio provides flexibility ideal as a home office, yoga room, or teenage retreat. A standing-seam tray roof, generous laundry with 5 m of storage, and a fully insulated garage complete this superbly resolved home.

Set on 401 sq m (more or less) of freehold land, surrounded by mature planting and incredible birdlife from tūī to pīwakawaka the setting is sheltered, private, and peaceful. Just moments from Westmere Butchery, Rag Tag, Cratoux, and Meola Reef Boardwalk, this tightly held pocket of Westmere offers a relaxed yet refined city-fringe lifestyle.

A home of architectural integrity and everyday ease crafted to stand the test of time.
