Some homes are built to impress. Others are built to last. Set on 1,014sqm (more or less) in a quiet Waipahihi cul-de-sac, this genuine Hinuera stone residence does both — with panoramic Bay to Bay views and rare four-car garaging to match.

Step inside and the scale immediately makes sense. The foyer cleverly separates the bedroom wing from the main living spaces, creating a layout that works for family life. The kitchen, dining, and living areas are generous, semi-connected, and positioned to capture the expansive outlook across the lake to the mountains.

Outdoor living is a natural extension of the home. An elevated entertaining platform takes full advantage of the sunsets and alfresco dining, while the spa pool sits in its own space enjoying the view. A patio BBQ area connects seamlessly back to the kitchen via server windows — practical, functional, and ideal for entertaining.

The master suite occupies its own wing, adding separation and privacy, complete with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and those same sweeping views. Two further bedrooms are positioned at the opposite end of the home, alongside a family bathroom, excellent storage, and a separate laundry with external access.

With the warmth of a wood burner, solid construction, a generous section, and garaging that’s increasingly hard to find, this is a home that has been genuinely lived in and well cared for — offering space, views, and a sense of comfort that simply feels right.
