Intelligent and spectacular architecture by William Noordanus takes full advantage of the northern aspect and city views in this magnificent home. Further expertise in Dan Rutherford's clever landscaping and Ingrid Geldof's fabulous kitchen and laundry, combine to make this a truly captivating property.

The house comprises three living areas that can be easily opened up creating large zones suitable for entertaining or closed for more intimate private spaces. A dramatic entrance and stair gallery is the heart of the house with a spine wall clad in large, polished porcelain tile panels seamlessly moving between indoor and outdoor, extending beyond the house and finishing in lustrous copper walls with water features front and back.

Outdoor living wraps around the house on three sides in the form of tiled patios on this largely flat site. Steps lead down to a sparkling blue, heated pool, long and narrow, visually inspiring and ideal for swimming laps almost year round! Above the pool an 'outdoor room' opening from the house through sliders, is entirely sheltered, has a gas fire, and is covered, by an electric louvred roof. Further seating on the west side is in a pretty courtyard framed with fragrant Portuguese Laurel topiaries, the perfect spot for summer evenings. The owner's instructions to Dan Rutherford were for a 'productive' garden and in this microclimate, he has achieved precisely that. Citrus flourishes here with orange, lemon, lime, and mandarin, alongside nectarine, peach and a whole feijoa grove!

Inside, the Geldof kitchen is the place not just to cook, but to eat, read, write, and plan at the central 'high table', quite simply the essence of family life. The Aga Cooker takes pride of place, and if you are not familiar, then this is a treat in store! From the kitchen sink you can gaze out over the charming herb and vege garden with its own surrounding boardwalk, across the city to Pegasus Bay and beyond. Of the four bedrooms, the one downstairs is pragmatic both for guests or as the master if required. Upstairs, the arrangement is flexible. Three more bedrooms are possible. Alternatively, the central room could be an extra living or office space with a walk-in cupboard to house office paraphernalia. Vast, opaque glass sliders section this room from the upstairs gallery. The master bedroom is exquisite, with a balcony, a bath with a view, and American Walnut joinery in the WIR!

Noordanus has excelled in this design. Winter sun streams in and the heat of summer is filtered through angled shutters. Triple garaging is extra-long, allowing room for a workbench and storage. Those looking for architectural excellence will find much to appreciate in this state of the art home. Our sellers have purchased a lifestyle property exchanging this elevated outlook for a rural perspective. We encourage your viewing, but allow some time, as there is much to ponder!
