It's nice to be unique

It's nice to be unique and so it is with this Mount hideaway where a rich tapestry of texture, tone and colour emerges from the clever use of concrete, Onduline, and stained marine plywood. The home is predominantly clad in corrugated black Onduline which is made from organic fibres. It's tough, breathes, is environmentally friendly, corrosion free, and fixed with stainless steel nails. In striking contrast the Onduline is complimented by stained Marine Plywood, bold tilt slab concrete and a towering glass window feature in the entranceway wall. Together these elements form an exterior that can withstand the vagaries of a salt laden environment while being uniquely and attractively in harmony with it and presenting an elegant modern appearance. The main living area is downstairs and opens to a very private entertainment deck that is the focal point for barbeques. The kitchen is attractive to say the least with benches moulded from a special feature concrete blend to create a 'hewn stone' look. Appliances are Smeg for the most part including a large 900mm gas hob. Note, gas is reticulated from the street and is also used by a Rinnai califont heater for your hot water. One bedroom, a bathroom, and guest toilet on this level are located to the rear. Up the stunning feature staircase we are led directly into the sun drenched second living area with its own deck and views to Mauao. Ideal as a play area for children or better still, a chill out pad for adults, it could also suit work from home applications. Whatever your use it's sure to come in handy. Adjacent are the main bedroom together with semi-suite and remaining two bedrooms. Heating for the home is provided primarily by a substantial heat pump air conditioner which can be set to switch on and off at different times of the day or merely left to keep the home heated to a preset temperature. Heated air circulates freely throughout the home due to a clever design recess in the second floor while under floor heating is installed in sections of lower floor slab and can be utilised if you prefer. Double garaging is offered as is a permanent built in two storey playhouse complete with children's slide. And all this is sited on an easy care fee simple freehold section that's beautifully manicured together with attractive plantings. After five very happy years here the current owners are committed to a sale with their new abode waiting not too far away. CV$725,000 (7/12)
