Missed out on a trip to Japan during Rugby World Cup?

Not a worry. This 220sq m Japanese-inspired home in the bush of Titirangi will transport you there. You’ll be surrounded native ferns instead of sakura blossoms.

A three-bedroom and two-bath Titirangi house, on a generous 1013sq m of land is marketed by Ray White agent Lynn Lacy-Hauck and will be auctioned on October 23.

She says the mid-century home with an office was described as “quite hipster” and is adored by retro-lovers.

“The people who are down with these houses are creatives from the city. What people like is a lot of old timber that is used.”

The house exterior has red roof and red detailing on the entry door and floor to ceiling window frames, red being an important colour in Japanese folk-lore.

More authentic Japanese touches include a decorative cedar shoji screen partition to the living and dining areas. Outside, the established gardens are a peaceful place to unwind, using Japanese ornamental landscaping. Kiwi touches include the expanse of lawn surrounded by lush forest, perfect for the kids to train, and there's with ample space to add a swimming pool later.

Modern touches include the white kitchen includes a large pantry and engineered stone and stainless benchtops.

The master bedroom opens to decking that takes in the light-filled view, and all bedrooms are warmed by a recently installed heat transfer system and wood burner. On the lower level, there is a large second living with heat pump, office, bathroom with shower, and storage.

Elevated and north facing 1970s home also has large windows, covered large deck and great views to the Sky Tower and the city, but the house is surrounded by native bush.

There’s also a single garage and double detached garage plus carport with level access from the street.
