Tucked at the end of Dune View Drive, down a private lane and just mere moments from the shimmering estuary, lies a home that will take your breath away. A contemporary coastal retreat with a subtle nod to the Hamptons, this residence joins the ranks of Mangawhai's most elite homes.
Step inside, and the first word you'll utter is wow! The ambiance is one of understated luxury, effortlessly chic yet warm and inviting. The grand family pavilion stretches an impressive 15 metres, offering expansive living and entertaining space. Bathed in natural light, this heart of the home embraces a greenhouse-like ambiance with skylights, floor-to-ceiling picture windows, and expansive glass sliders that invite the outdoors in. Soaring, white pitched ceilings add to the room's sense of airy elegance, enhancing the feeling of openness and light whilst the natural warmth of the Australian oak floors grounds the room. Designed for those who love to host, it's perfect for everything from intimate gatherings to large celebrations. The coastal aesthetic is ever-present with panelled walls and ceilings lending texture and depth, but always in a refined, contemporary way. The kitchen is a dream in crisp white, fitted with premium, integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances and exquisite brushed brass fittings. A true statement of style and functionality. In the adjoining, generous scullery, handmade Spanish tiles with a pearlescent sheen add elegance.
Moving further into the home, a modern take on a garden atrium creates a glass enclosed transition space overlooking lush tropical greenery, blurring the lines between indoors and out and connecting the two distinct wings.
Every room in this home has been designed to impress. There are no plain, uninspired spaces here. The attention to detail is remarkable, ensuring that each area delivers its own 'wow' moment. The three beautifully appointed bathrooms, plus a powder room, reflect the same design philosophy. Featuring artisan-crafted oak vanities from Otago, high-end tiling, and white shiplap panelling, they exude timeless sophistication.
With the water, cafes and vibrant local scene just a five minute stroll from your front door, this location embodies the best of coastal living - think leisurely walks through the Saturday markets, sundowners at the tavern and paddleboarding at sunrise.
This property is an architectural triumph in coastal luxury, offering spacious living and meticulous attention to detail.
Experience it for yourself.
