Positioned in a quiet Riverhead enclave, 8 Tauwaka Crescent is a beautifully executed masonry home where craftsmanship, materiality and design integrity take centre stage. Conceived in MDS masonry by Mark Wilson and built by Richard Davidson, this is a residence that has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously finished, with no detail overlooked.
The exterior immediately sets the tone. A Monier Portuguese Classico antique clay tile roof is paired with cedar fascia, quality guttering and downpipes, and a solid cedar front door, creating a timeless, grounded presence that will only improve with age. The outdoor living areas are finished in Antique Shahabad limestone paving, a natural stone that adds texture, warmth and a distinctly European feel, tying the architecture seamlessly into its Shafer designed, landscaped surroundings.
Inside, the home unfolds across a generous 316sqm floor plan, offering four bedrooms (including two masters), three bathrooms and a double internal-access garage, all set on a 600sqm section. Timber flooring runs throughout, grounding the interiors and enhancing the sense of warmth and cohesion from room to room.
The kitchen, laundry and bathroom cabinetry has been custom-made by Customtone Kitchens in Otorohonga, delivering a level of finish and functionality that feels truly bespoke. The kitchen itself is a standout, fitted with Miele appliances throughout, complemented by a Vintec wine fridge, Perrin & Rowe taps to both the kitchen and pantry, and bespoke lighting that elevates the space from practical to exceptional.
Bathrooms continue the theme of understated luxury, with floor-to-ceiling Burlington matt white tiles in every bathroom, paired with Grohe taps and showers for a timeless, elegant finish.
Throughout the home, carefully considered custom detailing adds layers of character and individuality - from the bespoke staircase rail and entry door handle to the tailored entrances into the family room and lounge. These subtle but deliberate touches create a home that feels refined, cohesive and quietly confident in its design.
This is a substantial family home that balances architectural integrity with everyday livability, offering space, quality and longevity in one of Riverhead's most peaceful residential pockets.
