With its modern mix of cladding and playful folding planes, it’s clear from the outset that this is no ordinary Kelburn home. Step through the front gate and your suspicions will be confirmed. The home’s four large bedrooms all boast elegant tiled ensuites. Three cosy light-filled living rooms offer space to unwind, with views to boot. Two outdoor areas promise alfresco enjoyment. It all amounts to a grand total 521sqm of paradise, which includes a fully self-contained area for guests. The swimming pool is a year-round retreat, great for staying active in winter or simply relaxing at the end of a long day. An internal lift takes the legwork out of laidback living. Open-plan living is roomy, relaxed, refined and well-connected to the outdoors. The kitchen opens to a sheltered deck for easy serving. The living room flows out to a covered deck with breathtaking views of the city and water. Formal dining is positioned at the heart of it all under a chandelier.
