Set quietly back from the roadway in a prestigious laneway, The Boathouse is a residence defined by intent rather than assertion. Designed by JMAC Architecture and realised by Harwood Homes, it balances architectural character with everyday functionality.

From the moment you arrive, the coastal weatherboard exterior, exposed gable trusses and distinctive circular porthole window establish a subtle dialogue with the waterways and sunsets beyond. Mature oak trees and a north-west orientation provide privacy while capturing sunlight throughout the day.

Inside, space and light become architectural features in themselves. Pitched ceilings and exposed timber trusses draw the eye upward, while the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flows effortlessly to the north-facing deck. Wide-plank engineered timber floors, tongue & groove feature walls and carefully crafted joinery create warmth and texture.

The kitchen, designed by Heirloom Kitchens, pairs Silestone benchtops with premium appliances and a well-positioned scullery, balancing function and elegance. Full-height glazing frames garden views and natural light, strengthening the connection between the home and its landscape.

Three generous bedrooms, highlighted by a primary suite with underfloor heating, frameless walk-in shower and direct garden access. A dedicated office with bespoke double workstation supports work-from-home living.

Outdoors, hardwood decking, established planting and irrigation create a low-maintenance yet refined setting, while reserve access and the north-west orientation capture evening sunsets across the waterway.

Located in prime Palm Springs, moments from Excelsa Centre, cafés, amenities and Papamoa Beach, this home combines sophistication with relaxed coastal living.

Homes of this calibre are rarely available and are even harder to replace. If you’ve been searching for a premium waterfront property, don’t miss this opportunity. Contact me today to experience everything this outstanding home has to offer.
