If you love the idea of moving into the Mapua village lifestyle yet refuse to compromise any of your sense of style and luxury, then you simply need to see this breathtaking property.

Beautifully positioned on an elevated site to take in the views of the Mapua inlet, everything here is done to a rare standard of excellence. A glance at the Westland stone schist and cedar cladding will tell you this is a home with a difference.

At 299.5 square metres, this is a voluminous house with outdoor areas to match. The striking bathrooms are matched by the stunningly beautiful kitchen with large scullery. Caesar stone benchtops and premium appliances are further evidence of the quality here. Four bedrooms, an office, a laundry/mudroom with shower and a double garage complete the home.

The vast living area has space to create two lounging areas as well as dining, while capturing the uninterrupted views of the coastal estuary across the front lawn. With huge bridge beam features, American white oak flooring and a high-capacity Woodsman log fire providing winter warmth and wetback under-floor heating elsewhere, there's just the right amount of classical style in this otherwise very contemporary home.

From this open plan kitchen and living, three sets of huge stack back doors - with finger pull movement - access the wrap-around kwila deck.

Every space is generous, even the smallest double bedroom can accommodate a king size bed with room for side cabinets. The master bedroom is super large, 4.8 x 4.2m. Cavity sliders either side access the dressing room and beautifully tiled ensuite bathroom.

Hundreds of native trees border 1,000 square metres of lawns. While the landscaping and gardens are a delight as is, there is still so much scope to add your own touches and room to build another garage or workshop.

If an outstandingly designed and built home with room to relax is important to you, then this very possibly could be the one. Call Daniel Reed for more information or an appointment to view.
