An architectural Eastbourne retreat
Private sheltered bayside setting, 8 Tawa Street is a distinctive architecturally designed home by renowned Wellington architect Hugh Tennent. A light filled residence created to embrace its surroundings and the relaxed way of life Eastbourne is known for.
A recipient of the 2013 NZIA Wellington Architecture Award for Housing, and featured in Houses NZ, NZ House & Garden, ArchitectureNow and ArchiPro, this home has been recognised for its thoughtful design and seamless connection to its Eastbourne setting. Its architecture draws inspiration from the simplicity of the classic New Zealand bach, with kitchen, dining and living spaces flowing naturally together while carefully positioned windows flood the home with natural light and create a strong connection with the garden and surrounding landscape.
The living areas are a particular highlight, warm, inviting and beautifully positioned to capture the sun. Expansive windows create the perfect place to sit, relax and enjoy the changing light throughout the day, while an open fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months. Combined with in slab underfloor heating, this is a home designed to be enjoyed in every season.
Accommodation is arranged across two levels, offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor provide excellent flexibility for guests, extended family or those seeking the convenience of single level living, while two further bedrooms and the second bathroom are positioned upstairs.
A generous single garage provides secure parking and additional storage, complementing the practical side of this beautifully considered architectural home.
Beyond the architecture, the location completes the picture. Eastbourne's beaches, bush tracks and village amenities are all within easy reach, offering the unique combination of a relaxed seaside community and the lifestyle that makes this part of the bays so tightly held.
Distinctive, considered and timeless, 8 Tawa Street is much more than simply a home, it is an opportunity to own an award winning Hugh Tennent design in one of the Wellington region's most sought after coastal communities.
