Being an active solar home, the extensive north-facing windows allow the winter sun to warm the impressively polished concrete floors, automatic high-level windows throughout help cool during the summer months. This home sits beautifully on a low-maintenance plot, nestled in the Rahana Way eco-community, Waikanae, one of the Kapiti Coast's most picturesque suburbs.

Entering through the central glazed lobby, the eastern wing is dedicated to three bedrooms, a well-specified bathroom with WC, luxury of underfloor heating, a separate WC, and hideaway laundry area.

Located in the western wing is a light and airy open plan kitchen, boasting engineered stone benchtops and plenty of storage, the dining and living space which extends through large bi-fold doors to the north-west facing deck and patio area, the perfect spot for al fresco entertaining. High stud ceilings, double glazing, polished concrete floors, and clever use of timber give this great living space style and sophistication.
