Built with precision, finished with flair and sitting proudly in one of Hokowhitu’s most prestigious pockets, 54 Kanuka Drive is an executive home that delivers something genuinely special.
Completed in 2023 by JAPAC and clad in a striking combination of oblique and Rockcote, the home has undeniable street presence from the moment you arrive. Beyond the façade, that same attention to design continues across two beautifully designed levels, where architectural detailing, impeccable craftsmanship and a sophisticated, moody interior set this home apart.
At the heart of the lower level, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area set the tone. A refined monochrome palette is warmed by timber detailing, feature panelling, statement wallpaper and carefully placed feature Buster & Punch lighting throughout. Custom sheers and blinds, panelled walls, recessed shelving and feature barn doors add further depth, while every fixture and finish feels deliberately chosen rather than simply added.
Also downstairs is the impressive master suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed, fully tiled ensuite with double head shower and double vanity. Even the laundry refuses to be purely practical, with stunning detailing continuing the high-end aesthetic through one of the home's most functional spaces.
The staircase is a feature in itself, with a Rockcote plaster finish wall and architectural detailing leading to the upper level. Here, two further bedrooms are joined by a beautifully finished family bathroom and an additional living area, creating excellent separation for family, guests or teenagers.
Loop-pile carpet, monochrome fixtures and fittings, a ducted heat pump, full insulation and an Infinity gas hot water system ensure the home's exceptional presentation is backed by year-round comfort.
Outside, the same attention to detail continues. Fully fenced and immaculately landscaped, the grounds combine railway sleepers, concrete and extensive decking to create a structured, contemporary and remarkably low-maintenance setting. The outdoor living area provides a superb extension of the home, while external copper lighting adds another layer of character after dark.
Triple internal-access garaging is another major advantage and a rare find in this calibre of Hokowhitu property, providing outstanding space for vehicles, storage and everything that comes with busy family life.
And the location speaks for itself. Kanuka Drive is an established, prestigious Hokowhitu address, surrounded by other high-calibre homes and positioned for easy access to excellent schooling, the city centre, Victoria Esplanade, the Manawatū River pathways and everything that makes this one of Palmerston North's most consistently sought-after suburbs.
Immaculate, individual and executed to an exceptional standard, with an updated RV of $1,570,000, this is a home where the finer details haven't been treated as an afterthought - they are what define it. 54 Kanuka Drive is executive living with an edge, and a home that deserves to be experienced in person.
