Just 3 years old, this sleek contemporary home in a friendly city-fringe neighbourhood was custom-designed by Mercer & Mercer Architects for the current owners. A host of super-smart features make living here exceptionally easy. Not just super-stylish, the high-quality residence is super-functional, packed with loads of clever storage and built-in shelving for display.
The rear property of 2, it was built of concrete block and clad in Abodo's premium weatherboard. A product made using FSC® certified New Zealand plantation timber, thermally modified for superior beauty and durability.
Elegant, thoughtfully detailed interiors showcase pale timbers and sleek black hardware, for a clean, light, Scandi vibe. All the living is on the lower level and 3 generous bedrooms plus 2 bathrooms are above with a gorgeous, wallpapered powder room for guests at the entry where super high ceilings make the laundry and a versatile office/tv room/4th bedroom more spacious.
Polished concrete floors soak up the sun in enormous open living with underfloor heating for cosy winters. Children's toys are kept tidy in a substantial bank of low cabinetry. An entertainer's dream, the kitchen, and island with breakfast bar is topped with hardy, yet beautiful Neolith benchtops. A beautifully-lit concealed cocktail bar has an under-bench wine fridge. Glass sliders open on 2 aspects to a patio, sheltered beneath a glazed canopy, leading out to the low-maintenance tiger turf lawn.
Bedrooms with custom built-in desks are cooled by ceiling fans. The master bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. In the main bathroom, water from the bath and shower are contained in a wet area and a skylight closes on a rain sensor. Beautiful timber vanities complement the aesthetic of the rest of the home.
With double internal garaging plus plentiful off-street and room for the boat, near the Bay's beaches, the CBD, Orakei kindergarten, Orakei School, Coates Ave shops, and zoned for Baradene and Selwyn College - this is the consummate, stunning, super-efficient family home. Simplify your life in the city.
