Luxury 5 bedroom Detached House for sale in Wellington, New Zealand - 131185937 - LuxuryEstate.com

One of Waikanae’s most recognised homes, 70 Te Moana Road is a modern classic, blending Georgian architectural elegance with a beautifully curated décor and contemporary craftsmanship. Passing through the iron gates, anticipation builds for the grand residence ahead.

A pathway leads to the main home, and an Oamaru stone-clad façade, adorned with creeping greenery, exudes timeless charm, with the impeccable attention to detail reflecting a true labour of love. A light-filled hallway serves as the home's spine, offering teasing glimpses of the lush surrounds. To one side, the formal living room is a masterclass in harmony, with high-stud ceilings, elegant wooden windows, a sculptural fireplace, and refined furnishings. Opposite, a richly atmospheric study boasts parquet flooring and sophisticated bespoke joinery.

Upstairs, four beautifully appointed bedrooms feature classic sash windows and a tasteful colour palette. The master suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with a walk-in robe, ensuite, and a mosaic adorned, reinforced balcony—perfectly suited for a future spa. A stylish family shower room completes this level.

The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, dining, and family area. Designed for both function and flair, the dual-island kitchen features yet more exquisite joinery, seamlessly integrating with the family living area. A striking picture window frames the tranquil rear garden, while a circular window, set high in the chapel ceilings, allows the last light of day to permeate the room.

Outdoor living is exceptional, with a vast patio offering multiple sun-drenched areas and a stunning pool. Beyond, the impeccably landscaped grounds transport you to a European idyll, with tiered box hedging, water features, manicured lawns, and abundant vegetable gardens and fruit trees, all sustained by a plentiful bore water supply.

The home is as practical as it is beautiful, featuring toughened glass windows in wooden frames, gas central heating, a stylish double wood burner, and pre-wired space for an internal lift. The two-storey ancillary building, designed and finished to the same exacting standards as the main home features a beautifully appointed one-bedroom flat up above—a light-filled retreat in French provincial style, successfully run as an Airbnb. The ground floor space features a double garage, yet another stylish shower room, a workshop area and abundance of storage.

Meticulously crafted, 70 Te Moana Road is a truly special, captivating home, and a one off that won’t fail to capture the imagination.
