Description

Here is a fantastic opportunity to save on time, money and stress involved in building and take advantage of someone else's skill and style with this brand new, turnkey property. Built with flair and craftmanship, from the moment you step into Pukeora Retreat you can see and feel the quality, and love, put into designing and building this home. Add to this an estuary view framed by nature and your coastal escape awaits you. The spacious, open plan living with 2.7m stud, is flooded with light, with both east and west triple sliders welcoming in the sunshine. The kitchen is an entertainer’s delight and for those that love outdoor cooking there is power plus hot and cold water on the deck to set up a barbeque kitchen to envy. The master, set on the northern aspect, opens out to the water and dune view and the roomy walk in robe and ensuite complete the suite. The family or guest bedrooms are separated by the living offering privacy for the owners and are adjacent to the family bathroom with separate free-standing bath and fully tiled wet areas. A powder room offers additional convenience and the study nook lets you tuck away all the technology out of view. Style, comfort and practicality have been top of mind when the design team and builder collaborated to create Pukeora Retreat. Just some of the home details includes: Bosch kitchenware with 900mm oven and oversized induction cooktop; double door fridge with ice and water; raw solid brass door and tapware; privacy filter on living, west facing sliders; heat pumps in living and master; underfloor heating in bathrooms; 100% wool carpet; fitted wardrobes and electric, rain sensor, louvres. Set in a boutique enclave, Pukeora Way is just 1km from all the village offers with a range of eateries, galleries, markets, all weather tennis and the estuary. Just a little further, and all on tar seal, Mangawhai and surrounds offers world class fishing, golfing and there’s even an Olympic style skate bowl for the kids or grandies. Whatever your interest or passion, there’s something here for the whole family and only 80 minutes from Auckland CBD. The view and privacy are more than you may expect and we would highly recommend taking the time to come and view first-hand to get a good feel for the home. If you are looking for refined and relaxed coastal luxury, and don’t want the time, cost and stress involved in building, then this brand new home is ready for you. We look forward to introducing you to this fabulous property.
