Innovative design and impeccable craftsmanship combine in this superbly remastered and utterly unique property. What distinguishes this renovation is its journey, led entirely by the owner, whose dual role as architect and builder saw the project from first sketch through to final nail. Thoughtful planning leverages the home's footprint to achieve full functionality, allowing it versatility to operate as one residence or as two individually, with practicality for single level ease. Making a striking first impression, two thirds of the home was newly built in 2022 with an impeccable eye for symmetry and inspired by 'Japandi' design - a harmonious blend of Japanese and Scandavian's minimalism that embraces natural materials, warmth and a calming wabi-sabi aesthetic.
The primary dwelling comprises a well equipped kitchen, dining room, and lounge, each flowing effortlessly from one to the next. Intentional elements maximise space availability, inviting natural light and indoor outdoor flow, such as the custom over-wall slider of epic proportions that's sure to be a talking point. Three bedrooms easily accommodate growing families, including the master with a walk-through wardrobe and a cleverly designed ensuite featuring bespoke Rimu vanities, timber slat shower flooring, and concrete basins. A self-contained living space connects from here through to the fourth bedroom, creating a separate guest suite with additional entry points; all lockable for secure peace of mind if needed. Private street access makes it ideal for paying holiday-makers, or equally suitable for clients if you run a home business. Purposefully selected finishes provide a backdrop of understated cool to this space. Pitched birch timber ceilings create a bright, airy environment; full height and oversized cavity sliders offer seamless appeal; underfloor heating introduces cosiness to polished concrete; and, proving no stone is left unturned, a recessed window seat invites relaxation inside, while a Corten steel box frames its outside counterpart for an impressive highlight.
An additional room offers flexibility here, which has been used as a fifth bedroom for visiting families, but equally ideal as an office that connects both parts of the home into one cohesive whole. Fully insulated garaging brings more options to the table: rumpus room, additional sleeping space, home gym, clinic space or storage. As a build that anticipates multiple scenarios, adaptability is present at every turn. Multiple outdoor entertainment pockets extend from the house, all surrounded by a lush mix of New Zealand natives and tropical landscaping for calming, tranquility. You'll have a clear conscience thanks to a core focus on sustainability, with another stellar feature being the energy efficient Ecodan air-to-water heat pump system. Nestled in a highly sought after, tightly held neighbourhood that oozes a nostalgic community vibe and is only a short stroll to the beach, this drawcard location is complemented by an attractive array of local perks. Zoning provides access to excellent schooling, with Tahatai close by, along with handy amenities, supermarkets, popular eateries, and nearby walkway reserves - delivering an enviable lifestyle.
Such continuity, clarity, and precision, met with stylish, modern comfort, is rarely seen. Don't miss this undeniable opportunity to enjoy every inch for yourself.
