Presiding over extraordinary beach and sea views and located just across the road from the beach, this architectural sanctuary presents the very best in family living beside the sea. It also boasts the huge bonus of a self-contained ground floor granny area, which can be used as accommodation for extended family or the like.
Architect David Delamare inspired design maximises the dazzling outlook through enormous walls of glass throughout and the high quality cedar and copper construction is perfectly suited to coastal conditions. Interiors showcase a stylish and relaxed, beachy aesthetic, with many spaces to relax and entertain in.
On entry level, formal and casual living spaces, each with gas fires, flank the kitchen – a social hub filled with well-considered features. These areas flow out to a generous entertaining deck, with another sunset deck tucked around the side. Two bedrooms and an office are serviced by the family bathroom and flow out to the private, sunny rear courtyard and garden.
Upstairs, the lounge flows out to a deck that enjoys the very best views of the house – uninterrupted, panoramic vistas of Whangaparaoa Bay and the islands of the Gulf. The master suite has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the other bedroom would make the ideal nursery.
Beautifully established, tropical gardens envelop the property and are lit up at night for a resort-style feel. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a swim, as well as a large workshop and wine cellar under the house. Internal garaging is complemented with plenty of off-street parking.
With its own entrance and outdoor living, the ground floor granny flat area enjoys excellent privacy and is still very much immersed in the view. It has a bedroom, living space, kitchen, bathroom and laundry.
