Reclining along its elevated rural Wairarapa site, the elegant house captures 180-degree vistas as far as Tararua Range.
Sliders open to a sheltered north-facing verandah that invites alfresco dining, sipping or simply enjoying the grandstand view. Enter the house through double doors, and you’ll note a white and dove-grey palette and spaces flooded in light.
The kitchen, with attached scullery, is all sleek lines and flush surfaces punctuated with black fixtures. From the island, you can enjoy bucolic views and more greenery through the elongated splashback window. In the lounge space, cosiness comes courtesy of an inbuilt gas fire and, of course, the sun.
Down-lit shelving, which straddles the fireplace, is a reminder of the care taken in crafting this home that has four carpeted bedrooms and two tiled bathrooms with stylish fittings. The main bedroom, with a corner that’s entirely glazed, also has an ensuite, spacious walk-in wardrobe and sliders that open to a deck. It’s a sanctuary in every sense.
The house, in painted shiplap timber, also has underfloor heating, thermally broken windows, rainwater storage, a natural-flow septic system and is ready for solar panels.
