Situated in Huia Street’s desirable lifestyle enclave, this exceptional lifestyle home occupies a privileged elevated position. Private, sun-soaked, and beautifully landscaped, it delivers a sense of seclusion that feels worlds away yet remains only minutes from Waikanae’s shops and amenities.
Set on stepped grounds, the home enjoys truly breathtaking panoramic views across the entire Kāpiti Coast, stretching from Mount Taranaki to the top of the South Island, with the Hemi Matenga Scenic Reserve forming a dramatic natural backdrop. Accessed via a private Right of Way, this is a property designed for those who value privacy, presence, and uncompromising quality.
Architecturally significant and built to commercial and industrial construction specifications, the 332sqm residence was created by Jon Craig of Craig, Craig, Moller Architects, a name synonymous with landmark New Zealand design.
Inside, expansive open-plan living, dining, and family spaces are framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing, drawing the coastline in like a living artwork. Variable-height ceilings soar to five metres, while an electronic gas fire, slab heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, and integrated Bosch surround sound ensure comfort and atmosphere in every season.
The layout is both practical and luxurious, with three bedrooms including two on the lower level, each with built-in robes and direct outdoor access. The upper master suite features a walk-in robe, ensuite, and two balconies to take in the ever-changing outlook. The beautifully appointed family bathroom offers tiled finishes, clever storage and touch-operated mirror lights.
At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen is finished with granite benchtops and a full suite of premium appliances, along with both gas and induction cooking, plus boiling and hot water on tap, and offers genuine connection to the open-plan living areas, and outdoor entertaining areas.
A unique, show-stopping five-metre-high atrium with electric windows and a glass ceiling adds another dimension, perfect as a sunlit entertaining zone, art studio, or indoor garden room. A glass-box office captures sweeping views, while thoughtful inclusions such as full double glazing back-to-base security, keypad exterior doors, three-phase power and zoned underfloor heating elevate everyday living.
Outside, the grounds are a botanical spectacle, featuring tiled courtyards, fruit and vegetable gardens, greenhouse, fernery, lawned areas, and a tiled garden shed.
With parking for up to 13 vehicles including a carport, this is a property of rare calibre, designed to impress, built to endure, and positioned to inspire.
