    CAR GARAGING

A coveted Matua location. The unobstructed northwesterly water and Kaimai ranges views, protected by local height restrictions, are immersive from the main living areas, kitchen, and master. The location further benefits from neighbouring water access without ownership and maintenance concerns.

A substantial cobblestoned arrivals area provides ample space for manoeuvring and parking with easy access to two single internal access garages and a carport, surrounded by welcoming, mature, low-maintenance planting.

A deep covered entry deck efficiently delivers you into the middle of the home, with the front door adjacent the stairwell, ground-floor living, garaging and mudroom entries. The stairwell was conceived around the potential for a future lift.

The modern galley kitchen is supported by a vast scullery and connects to dining, living and the expansive covered deck with its elevated views.

Originally designed as a dedicated office, the large first-floor lounge/media room could easily provide for additional bedroom space, being supported by the adjacent guest powder room. Alternatively, additional bedroom space can be created from the ground-floor living area.

The carport has been designed for practical daily use with covered entry to the home. At its end is a bonus room, ideal for additional storage, a workshop, hobby room or a gym. The rear of the adjacent garage holds a massive laundry and well-fitted-out storage area that connects to the rear yard via a useful mud room entry.

 Private, extensively paved and fully landscaped, the courtyard is a suntrap. Outdoor living continues on this level with a covered seating area, a swim spa pool, and an easy stairway connecting this space to the first-floor covered deck and main living/kitchen. Outdoor living is fenced and gated for young children and pets.
