Description
Some homes are built. Others are composed. Bold in design yet grounded in warmth, 56B Campbell Road is a residence that makes a statement without saying too much. Privately positioned on a 427sqm (approximate) site, the 280sqm (approximate) home by Brendon Gordon Architects and Gudsell Builders blends sharp architectural lines with carefully crafted materials. Designed to impress, built to endure, and made to be lived in. Behind its considered exterior lies a home that feels grounded and inviting. At ground level, two generous living areas frame the open-plan heart of the home, each anchored by its own in-situ concrete gas fireplace. Solid oak flooring runs underfoot, bespoke timber detailing softens the edges, and oversized sliding doors draw natural light deep inside while opening to private courtyards and north-facing gardens. It’s a layout that flexes easily between relaxed family living and refined entertaining. The kitchen is sleek, purposeful, and beautifully appointed. Dual ovens, twin fridges, Miele appliances, and a generous walk-in scullery ensure it performs as well as it presents. Whether it’s hosting a long-table dinner or managing the rhythm of a busy weekday morning, this space is designed to keep pace. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide separation and retreat. The master suite is a true sanctuary, complete with walk-through wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite featuring underfloor heating, a freestanding bath, dual showers, and its own balcony with views to Mauao - a quiet reminder of your Mount address. Beyond the design credentials, this home delivers practical liveability. The floor plan is family-friendly and versatile, the double internal-access garage offers secure storage, and there’s ample space to spread out or come together. And with the beach, schools, shops, and local eateries all within easy reach, the lifestyle here is as compelling as the architecture. This is design with conviction, a residence that proves luxury and liveability can sit comfortably side by side. This is architecture that knows exactly what it’s doing.

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules

Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
