Experiencing this magnificently designed home left us thinking that for our owners this may indeed be Mission Impossible. Nevertheless, the famous, award-winning Sheppard and Rout have been issued with and accepted the job of recreating the magic for them elsewhere, serendipitously vacating .

Built to the most rigorous of standards, this beautifully proportioned and substantial home has a multitude of features to satisfy the most selective buyer. The combination of striking but classical lines with the convenience and comfort of ultra-modern design, provides luxurious living on a grand scale. A successful collaboration between Architect and Builder is a joy to discover, and here we have just such a superb alliance. Set on 1151sqm down a lovely driveway lined with Hornbeams with up-lights for a dramatic evening approach, a large family home unfolds to an open north facing aspect, beautifully positioned to take full advantage of a glorious wide open bend along our iconic Wairarapa Stream.

Construction in narrow Roman bricks with Cedar detailing is stylish and in vogue. Secure behind electric Cedar gates, there is a large parking and turning area in front of oversize garaging. The garden is now well-established and lush green plantings cluster around windows bringing the outside in. Still, it is the front of the property where the landscaping excels. Here the living opens out onto a beautiful Indian Sandstone patio floating above verdant green lawn rolling gently down to the stream. The blue tiled, heated, infinity pool sits sparkling to the side.

Inside is an urban sanctuary where harmony and warmth are certain, with saturating natural light, floor to ceiling glass and soaring cathedral ceilings. Seemingly acres of wide pale oak floorboards glow across the ground floor, and shutters frame the windows. The kitchen and scullery are both huge and equipped with sophistication too diverse to detail here. Suffice to say this is the heart of the home where family life reigns supreme! A media room, two bedrooms both with ensuites, and a purpose built gym and sauna, can all be found on the ground floor. Floating stairs ascend to the upper floor where three more bedrooms are arranged around a study space. The master has a huge ensuite and bespoke joinery in the WIR.

Locality keeps pace with the best in this pivotal position so central to all that our flourishing city offers. If schooling is a priority, then you are close to our best private institutions, and in zone for the most sought after state schools; CGHS, CBHS, and BHS. Choices for shopping, cafes and restaurants are all within a tight radius, and a twenty minute stroll brings you to our wonderful Hagley Park for recreation and exercise.

Our sellers have loved their time here in a home that more than meets their needs. So much so they have commissioned Sheppard and Rout to design a new project soon to be complete! This is a magnificent home with a sense of grandeur. We welcome your viewing but be sure to allow some time as you may not want to leave!
