With panoramic views of the Tasman Sea, spacious light-filled living areas and wow-factor details, this dark, handsome Hokitika home has it all. In antithesis to its moody-hued exterior, the interior is all pale, muted elegance, save a few deliberate contrasts such as pieces of furniture and the earthy tiles in the ensuite’s walk-in shower. Light floods into the 291sqm pavilion-style house, which has six skylights, a sun tunnel and swathes of glazing that also frame the vistas.
The streamlined white-on-white kitchen with quality fit-out, integrated appliances and scullery is made for entertaining. It doesn’t hurt that the adjoining dining and living space, with a David Trubridge lightshade playing a starring role, flows to decking, including a portico. These are tailor-made for gatherings, but also places for alfresco family meals and simply dreaming. Tucked beside the living-dining area in a link between the two pavilions there’s also a media room. In the second wing you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom with a standalone bath. The main suite has a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite with those designer tiles and sliders that frame the outlook and open to decking. There’s more than a touch of luxury here. The clients wanted room for a growing family and for friends to stay. They also wanted a place in which to make special memories. Mission accomplished.
