A striking staircase with its own picture window is another beautiful architectural feature, while substantial attic storage adds practical functionality.

One of the bedrooms also benefits from its own games room, providing flexibility for children, hobbies or additional storage. The home's exceptional craftsmanship continues throughout with beautifully laid oak flooring, ducted heating and cooling, four heat pumps and a carefully considered layout that works equally well for everyday family life or entertaining guests. Practicality has not been overlooked, with an internal-access double garage, additional off-street parking for two vehicles, and separate attic storage providing plenty of room for bikes, toys and the necessities of family living.Positioned directly on the Rangitopuni riverfront with views that cannot be built out, this is a home where architectural sophistication meets an enviable lifestyle setting. Private, sun-filled and beautifully considered, it offers an exceptional combination of design, space and position, and it simply doesn't get much better than this.
