332 Macwhinney Drive, Drury, Papakura

Spectacular home with unparalleled views

High quality build - Peter Stoupe
Spectacular doesnt even begin to describe the panoramic views of the city and breathtaking sunsets from this north-facing contemporary five-bedroom home plus a spacious study. Nestled in the Drury hills, north facing overlooking Auckland, from the Waitakere Ranges to Manukau Harbour and across to the Sky Tower. Designed and built by its current owners 14 years ago, it is a testament to their vision to create a timeless home that celebrates its spectacular environment.

A beautiful, roomy open plan kitchen, living and dining area moods with impressive views. It is here you will be able to host extravagant parties that spill outdoors onto the immaculate lawn and covered patio. A butler's pantry, double sink and brand-new ovens make family life and hosting easy. There are no small rooms here. Each of the five bedrooms is spacious and a skillful design provides independence for the kids, while mum and dad gain extra privacy with a large en-suite. There is also a further two bathrooms, and an office for working from home plus a TV room.

Sitting on a hectare of land (more or less), there is an established veggie garden, native plants and mature fruit trees, space for chooks and a small hobby farm. With green-belted land bordering the home, there is no chance of development and you can continue to peacefully enjoy the abundant birdlife, including tui, kingfishers, quail and pheasants.

Elegance is high on the agenda, from the 2.7m glass-fronted double entranceway that provides an impressive welcome to the floating glass features, from the louvre windows for subtle ventilation to the underfloor heating. You will be able to ensure your Tesla is ready to go with a specially installed 15amp electric vehicle charging point in the five-car garage, with a large basement that gives you handy extra storage. Situated on a private road which is CCTV monitored, and within a few minutes drive of the motorway, this is an ideal location to embrace the country life.
