Exceptional in both design and position, this architecturally designed 277m² Cape Cod-inspired residence presents a rare opportunity to secure a sophisticated waterfront home in the heart of Riverhead. Set prominently on a private corner site, the home enjoys abundant natural light, a sense of space and uninterrupted views across the Rangitopuni River and beyond- a setting that is exceptionally difficult to replicate.

From the moment you enter, the quality and thoughtful design of this home are immediately apparent. Expansive picture windows frame the waterfront outlook, drawing the beautiful surroundings into the heart of the home, while crisp white interiors, beautifully crafted exterior with dark-stained cedar weatherboards create an elegant yet welcoming aesthetic.

The lower level has been designed with both family living and entertaining in mind. A generous chef's kitchen with excellent storage and a walk-in pantry flows effortlessly into the dining and sitting areas, with easy connection to the waterside deck. A second lounge provides a more intimate space for relaxed evenings, complete with an Escea fireplace for added warmth and ambience. Large powder room and well positioned separate laundry. 

A striking staircase with its own picture window is another beautiful architectural feature, while substantial attic storage adds practical functionality. On the upper level, there are four spacious bedrooms, including a superb master suite enjoying stunning water views, plenty of sunshine and a well-appointed ensuite. One of the bedrooms also benefits from its own games room, providing flexibility for children, hobbies or additional storage. 

The home's exceptional craftsmanship continues throughout with beautifully laid oak flooring, ducted heating and cooling, four heat pumps and a carefully considered layout that works equally well for everyday family life or entertaining guests. 

Practicality has not been overlooked, with an internal-access double garage, additional off-street parking for two vehicles, and separate attic storage providing plenty of room for bikes, toys and the necessities of family living.

Positioned directly on the Rangitopuni riverfront with views that cannot be built out, this is a home where architectural sophistication meets an enviable lifestyle setting. Private, sun-filled and beautifully considered, it offers an exceptional combination of design, space and position, and it simply doesn't get much better than this.
