There's something special about this beautifully considered Kingsland home - a place of natural light, thoughtful design and spaces that simply work.
Wide stacker doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening the living areas to generous north-facing decks and landscaping that wraps the home in layers of green. Sunlight tracks through the house from morning to dusk, and leafy outlooks lend a rare sense of privacy and calm.
At its heart, the Jose Gutierrez-designed kitchen anchors the open-plan living and dining - the natural gathering point for family life and entertaining - while reeded glass along the stairway catches the light, a quiet architectural flourish.
Out on the decks, the home keeps going: morning coffee in the sun, little ones playing while dinner comes together, long lunches that drift into easy summer evenings.
Three bedrooms, or two with a second lounge, playroom or work-from-home retreat - a floor plan that's clever, adaptable and ready to grow with you. Upstairs, the bedroom opens to its own little balcony, a quiet perch for a chapter or two before the day begins.
A carport takes care of the practical; the sun, greenery and setting take care of the rest.
And then there's Kingsland. Connected yet unmistakably village, with an exceptional line-up of coffee, brunch and dinner spots, great local gyms and the train station a short stroll away - soon supercharged by the CRL. Zoned for Mt Albert Primary, Kowhai Intermediate and Mt Albert Grammar, it's a neighbourhood young families are fast making their own.
A home with rhythm, soul, and effortless style. Press "play" on your new amazing lifestyle.
