838 Atawhai Drive, Atawhai

Elegant in its simplicity, this award winning three level home takes in constantly changing estuary views through self-cleaning glass windows, offering sun soaked privacy and a level of sophistication and energy efficiency seldom offered in New Zealand. The interior employs natural materials that are as beautiful as they are hardwearing; from Scandinavian ash flooring and insulated timber ceiling panels, to the patina of folded steel plate stairs that wind around an electric standalone Swedish lift. Family living, dining and kitchen is given over to sun and sea views, spilling out to a large north facing deck, where you can while away the hours in your alfresco dining area, complete with outdoor fireplace and water feature. Upstairs, recycled rubber and cork flooring add warmth and graphic interest to your luxurious master bedroom suite with balcony, ensuite and dressing room. The spacious second bedroom, also with ensuite, takes in the sparkling ocean vista below, while a third bedroom lends itself equally well as large studio or additional lounge. Incorporating LED lighting, rainwater collection system and state-of-the-art German heat recovery and air control system, this exceptional home will appeal to those who value maximum comfort with minimal running costs.
