Be welcomed through gates into a lush setting of mature palms, giant bromeliads, frangipani and so much more, a visual feast of saturated tropical hues. Huge volcanic boulders rest here and there amongst foliage, adding a sense of drama to this mow-free 805sqm level site. Herein rests a property that tells a beautiful story of tranquility and privacy just over an hour from Auckland. This impeccable home has been totally renovated to the highest standard by local Master Builder Nick Smith, with emphasis on stylish, hard-wearing, quality materials. From the side of this Cedar clad home, you enter a lobby layered in Italian tiles that spread through to a large rumpus effortlessly housing 4 bespoke double bunks and lounge suite. Also off the entry is the first of 3 grand bathrooms, tiled entirely in German limestone embedded with the occasional, ancient fossil. Take 7 steps up and enter a sumptuous open plan living area featuring a superb galley style kitchen with dark granite bench tops, marble backsplash, Butlers pantry and spring pull-down mixer. A large black tiled media wall adorns one side of the living zone incorporating a gas fireplace for evening ambience. To the other end a wall of glass sliders invite in gentle summer breezes and connect you to a generous, covered deck for all weather entertaining. Solid Oak floors flow throughout this level that also houses a striking family bathroom and large bedroom whilst up a further few steps you will find a second bedroom then master with a sumptuous, oversize ensuite boasting an elegant free-standing bath.

To the rear of the home is a private courtyard deck that connects the main dwelling to a double garage with tiled floors and its own bathroom. The 55sqm footprint here lends itself to many functions. With plumbing in situ, a kitchenette could be easily added to create a flatette or use as is for a gym, office or teen retreat.

A home of this calibre in this coveted street is a rarity. We recommend those looking for a superior, exhilarating property to view.
