Contemporary family home on the coast

This contemporary home sits on 3810 sqm (more or less) with native bush surroundings, plenty of room for the kids and pets to run about and a sheltered north-facing aspect from the central living areas. This inspiring home designed by Red Architecture has a well-appointed galley style kitchen and scullery which blends seamlessly with the large open plan living and dining areas. The centrally located office nook will allow you to prepare the family meal and keep an eye on the kids as they do their homework.

After a family meal, you can relax and socialize with friends under the canopy of the north-facing outdoor living space while keeping an eye on the kids as they finish their day cooling down in the pool. The conveniently positioned outdoor shower will keep the nearby beach sand outside the home. The home boasts three good sized double bedrooms, family bathroom and separate laundry. The master bedroom has its own ensuite and private deck where you can relax with your favourite book.

Completed in 2017 by local builders MRA construction, this dwelling comes with the remainder of a ten year guarantee. The ply and copper features of the home provide warm and comfortable surroundings which are kept warm in winter with the centrally positioned wood burner. The split double garage with internal access can house all your coastal lifestyle toys. One garage bay can be shut off to provide a fourth bedroom option for family, friends or a passive income with ensuite bathroom and external access to the deck. You can explore development options within the large attic space above the home or perhaps traverse the idea of adding a secondary dwelling amongst the established native gardens.

Tucked away from the road, the house is located in a family-friendly neighbourhood and only a short walk across the field to the sports and tennis grounds, nearby Puriri Street beach, Raglan wharf and the vibrant town hub. You will only be a five-minute drive to amazing beaches, day hikes and of course, world-class surf breaks.
