49 Ara Kakara Avenue, Huapai, Rodney, Auckland, 0810, New Zealand

This exquisitely sleek bespoke residence is beautifully discreet from the street and unfolds in the most revelationary fashion. Searingly contemporary and yet utterly welcoming, it exudes a quiet composed confidence while offering modernism at its most and relaxed.

Beautifully proportioned, there’s a neatness to the facade that speaks of the thoughtful planning, care and quality sewn into every seam of the design. It rests hugged by inky layers of variegated foliage enjoying the most exquisite privacy.

Subtle textural details, natural materials and deep tones meld to create a contemporary eco-aesthetic, while genuinely premium finishing – of a quality rarely seen – presents a home that resonates with understated luxury. The interior reveals a world of gleaming efficiency, with intelligence and a nod to longevity speaking through both the design and enduring classic materials.

Uncompromising attention to detail and uncommonly meticulous planning is evident, from the underfloor heating through the open-plan lower level – crowned by a kitchen that is achingly chic, replete with pressed tin splashback and artfully juxtaposed deep-toned cabinetry – through to contemporary accoutrements including a Tesla battery pack and extensive solar panels that ensure sustainable acumen.

Leading the eye, mellow tones in the solid timber staircase convey the peace of the upper level, where a series of light filled rooms will sooth your loved ones with tranquil views in unrivalled comfort.

This peerlessly crafted cedar residence is on the doorstep of the sprawling Huapai Domain in the heart of the leafy established Matua Crest subdivision gloriously proximate to Woodhill, Muriwai and Kumeu’s abundant verdant vineyards.

A thoroughly accomplished home with a pedigree of care and refinement that make it both elegant and resonant with comfort, it leaves an indelible impression.
