Directly opposite Point Chevalier Beach, where established pōhutukawa frame the water, this exceptional home pairs the enduring charm of a 1920s bungalow with the sophistication of contemporary architecture.
Behind a beautifully preserved weatherboard façade, a striking black-clad extension introduces an entirely different architectural expression, linked to the original home by a light-filled glazed passageway. The contrast is deliberate, the execution meticulous, and the result a residence of understated elegance.
Quality is evident at every turn. Architectural lighting, bespoke cabinetry, marble bathrooms and carefully chosen finishes reflect an uncompromising approach to materials and craftsmanship.
The contemporary living pavilion forms the heart of the home. Soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors and full-height glazing create a remarkable sense of space and connection to the outdoors, while natural stone, rich textures and contrasting tones give the interior warmth as well as refinement.
The kitchen is a statement in its own right: veined marble, sleek dark cabinetry, premium appliances and precise detailing. Generous living and dining spaces flow alongside, with expansive sliding doors opening to the garden, pool and outdoor entertaining.
Outside, a covered terrace anchored by a bespoke concrete wood-burning fireplace invites year-round use, from long summer lunches to evenings gathered around the fire, while children and friends enjoy the pool and lawn. A spa completes this private retreat, framed by established landscaping.
The beautifully restored original bungalow offers a graceful counterpoint, retaining its character while delivering the comfort of a thoroughly modern home. There are four bedrooms, including a master suite with ensuite. A luxurious family bathroom, separate guest powder room and a second living area add flexibility for family life, and the front lounge and master bedroom both enjoy a charming outlook to the adjacent pōhutukawas and beach.
A garage and two additional off-street parks round out the practicalities.
Set on approximately 632sqm of land opposite the beach, the property offers a truly special coastal lifestyle: morning walks along the waterfront, spontaneous swims and the relaxed rhythm of a much-loved neighbourhood.
Featured in Homestyle magazine and ArchiPro, this is a compelling example of how architectural vision and exceptional craftsmanship can transform a character home into something extraordinary.
A rare balance of heritage, architectural sophistication and coastal lifestyle. Impeccably finished and unmistakably individual.
