There are homes that look impressive, and then there are homes where you quickly realise every detail has been considered.
Architecturally designed by Figure & Ground, with interiors by Modi Design, this exceptional three-bedroom two-bathroom residence is the builder's own home - created with an exacting attention to detail, quality and functionality that is evident throughout.
Positioned on the hill yet offering the ease and practicality normally associated with living on the flat, the home occupies a generous, level section and is predominantly arranged across one beautifully considered level. From here, outlooks stretch towards the Southern Alps and the water, bringing together mountain views, sea air and all-day sun.
Beautiful timber flooring leads through the entrance and into the kitchen, dining and main living area, where a subtle change in level creates definition without compromising the home's wonderful sense of connection.
At its heart is a superbly executed designer kitchen. Stone benchtops, seamless cabinetry, exceptional storage and beautifully clean architectural lines create a space that is as functional as it is striking. A concealed scullery keeps the working elements of the kitchen discreetly out of sight, while premium Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliances include an oven with microwave and steam functionality.
The main living area opens directly to a north-facing deck, perfectly positioned to capture the sun and enjoy the outlook towards the Alps. On the western side, another sheltered entertaining area creates an entirely different outdoor experience, with a concrete patio, spa and dedicated BBQ area providing an exceptional setting for long summer evenings.
For quieter moments the rich timber panelling and a seamlessly integrated television create an intimate, sophisticated space that feels distinctly different from the open-plan living area.
Accommodation comprises four bedrooms, complemented by beautiful bathrooms and an extraordinary level of built-in storage. Wardrobes, drawers and shelving have been integrated throughout the home rather than added as an afterthought, while a dedicated study nook provides a practical work space without sacrificing an entire room.
Technology has been considered too, with an integrated Sonos sound system bringing music effortlessly throughout the home.
Yet for all its architectural sophistication, this is not a home that sacrifices practicality for design.
It has been genuinely lived in and loved as a family home, with the owners raising their two young boys here. That makes its refinement even more impressive. It is a house designed to withstand real life while still feeling special every time you walk through the door.
With a double garage, excellent off-street parking, flat grounds and superb indoor-outdoor living, it will naturally appeal to families. Equally, its predominantly single-level configuration makes it an outstanding proposition for buyers wanting to downsize without compromising on space, architecture, privacy or quality.
What makes this home particularly compelling is the completeness of the design. The storage, orientation, entertaining spaces, technology, materials, landscaping and everyday functionality have all been thought through.
Quite simply, it is difficult to find something they forgot.
A sophisticated architectural home offering the outlook and atmosphere of hillside living, with the space, accessibility and practicality of a home on the flat.
