Featuring
River Oaks Drive an aptly named leafy green exclusive cul-de-sac of central lifestyle homes in highly desirable Tauriko, neighbouring Bethlehem, its major shopping centre, and sought after schooling.
Lined with trees and hedgerows, the shared accessway of the end of River Oaks, shared by a handful of prestigious residences, enhances this property’s separation from the din of the world.
A covered entry area with a dramatic foyer featuring an internal atrium and bridge, and an external void with reflection pond, leads onto a louvre covered central courtyard and wood fire connecting the West and East wings of the home and channelling stunning views north.
A large open plan kitchen featuring Walnut veneer kitchen cabinetry, Palomino granite counter tops, a substantial plumbed scullery and social window seat is the heart of this home.
Through the foyers seating area hides an inviting lounge with a sophisticated moody intimacy and direct access to an evening deck designed to comfortably shelter and relax in the sunsets of the days end.
From the evening deck or across a bridge from the first floor you’ll find privileged access to an elevated Spa deck enjoying the river views, night times twinkling lights up the valley, or the rising or setting sun.
Visioned with a first floor master bedroom to maximize privacy and views, the design has been future proofed for long term ownership with a pool side ground floor master bedroom option. When not in use this secondary master provides for very desirable guest accommodation, a wonderful office/study, or third living space; the ensuite for this room also directly services the pools powder room requirements.
Each of the bedrooms is generous in size, provides direct views to deck space and views, and features ensuite and walk-in wardrobe space.
A heated concrete and Quartzone pool with swim jets and a concealed automated rigid cover completes a picture of year round outdoor living.
Generous internal access double garage and connected double carport space which provides convenient quick visits home with its covered entry to the laundry, practically just to the rear of the kitchen. Dual service court areas allow maintenance of the property’s impeccable aesthetic.
