This striking mid century modern residence in Matamata blends timeless architecture with refined Japanese inspired design, creating a home that feels both contemporary and serene. Privately positioned and architecturally designed in the 1970s, the property has been thoughtfully renovated to honour its original character while introducing elegant, modern enhancements.
The home showcases enduring quality and style. Signature features include large windows and expansive ranch sliders that invite natural light into every room, while framing ever-changing views of intimate courtyard spaces and mature, softly layered landscaping. The connection between indoors and outdoors is seamless, enhancing the home's tranquil, Zen like atmosphere.
Inside, the design is both warm and sophisticated. Rimu timber sarked ceilings, exposed Douglas Fir beams, and sleek architectural lines are complemented by Japanese-style shoji screens and carefully curated lighting. The result is a calming environment where every detail has been considered, and every space feels purposeful.
The heart of the home is a centrally positioned, contemporary kitchen that flows effortlessly into open-plan dining and living areas. These spaces extend to private patios, perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A second spacious lounge opens to a beautifully designed outdoor entertaining zone, complete with a built in fireplace, surrounded by manicured, fully fenced grounds and established landscaping that enhances both privacy and ambience.
Accommodation includes three generous double bedrooms. The master suite features an ensuite, walk in wardrobe, and direct patio access, mirrored by the second bedroom. Both bathrooms are tastefully appointed with modern cabinetry, while ample storage throughout ensures practicality matches style.
A covered walkway provides easy access to the open garaging and workshop, adding further convenience to this well-considered home.
Located close to local shops, cafes, sports facilities, and medical services, with straightforward access to larger centres, this property offers both lifestyle and connectivity. The home backs onto Tom Grant Drive, and is a private, peaceful retreat thanks to its thoughtful positioning and established surroundings.
Distinctive, peaceful, and architecturally significant, this is a rare opportunity to secure a home that stands apart, where mid century design meets contemporary living in perfect harmony.
