Here’s lifestyle spelled with a capital L. On a ridge overlooking the Hauraki Gulf, you’ll see a row of townhouses that provide natural light, durability and a stylish aesthetic. Each one accommodates four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a powder room spread over three floors. Don’t be put off by the flights of stairs– these houses have been future-proofed for their owners with internal lifts. Congregated in two groups, the five 211sqm houses with view-facing balconies are attached to at least one other property, but look and feel more like standalone homes. Vertical cedar, brick and aluminium cladding, with thoughtful details such as external screens across stairwells, mark them as well-conceived and well-crafted. Inside, you’ll notice fittings and finishes that confirm the quality. Again, details add an extra layer of luxury to the home. The staircase, for instance, starts as an attractive but conventional means to move between the ground and middle floors, with timber steps and glass balustrades. It then morphs into something else– floating treads with black-edged glass balustrades rise across a picture window to the top floor. Now that’s a wow-factor feature.
