Melanesia Road, Kohimarama, Auckland

From award-winning Hulena Architects, this brand new, highly specced Nu-Wall aluminium clad home is a low maintenance option for busy bay-loving people. This unit is one of four exclusive Principle Homes Constructed dwellings. The 155 sqm (approx.) air-conditioned home is a short walk to the beach and elevated to capture urban views. 

From the unique front door with C-shaped handgrip, a foyer flows through to the open plan ground floor living. This spatially generous zone connects effortlessly via full length sliders onto a partly covered private deck and artifical lawn area. European oak flooring underpins the kitchen, lounge, and dining area, well illuminated by natural light owing to generous double glazing all round. The superb designer kitchen displays distinctive mesh lattice detailing, granite slabs, brushed brass tapware, and Miele appliances with the sociable island an ideal gathering place. Upstairs three double bedrooms are warmly luxurious with the master having a walk-in dressing room. A huge underfloor heated ensuite bathroom has dual vessel basins atop a granite slab vanity and large format Italian tiles cloak wet shower and walls. The main family bathroom similarly echoes the glamorous Italian theme and includes a Victoria & Albert tub. Downstairs, a guest powder room with in-wall cistern has bags of panache and nearby an internal access carpeted garage houses the laundry. 

Walk to both Kohimarama and St Heliers beaches, cafes, restaurants, and boutiques with St Ignatius School just steps from home. Close to Madills Farm for doggie dashes and easy access to public transport for a city commute, this superb lock-and-leave property offers a first-class lifestyle in an incredibly desirable seaside neighbourhood.
