43 Whitehaven Road Glendowie, Auckland City

This brand new home designed and built by Box is located on an elevated 510m2 site set peacefully away from the roadside, and orientated precisely for the vista and the sun. Its own driveway leads to a spacious double garage, extra off-street parking and stylish landscaping and decking around the entrance. From the moment you head up to the open-plan living, your eyes are automatically drawn to the ferries and sailing activities on the Tamaki Estuary, and Half Moon Bay Marina across the water. The Coromandel hills lie in the distance, and the almost rural outlook over both Glendowie and Churchill Parks is in the foreground. The light and airy living area has extensive double-glazed windows and large bi-fold doors which open out onto the north-facing entertainment deck; all designed to take full advantage of the rather special views. The keenest of cooks will be impressed with the beautifully equipped designer kitchen which features silestone bench tops, an island breakfast bar, induction cooktop, huge fridge/freezer, and soft-close drawers-within-drawers. As if that is not enough, the home has the latest Smart-Tech features which control audio and visual, mood-lighting, heating and security. With an eye to the future the house is also solar-ready. The delightful master bedroom on the ground floor features a rather cool en-suite and access to the wraparound lawned garden. You can enjoy a pleasant morning's stroll across the park to the cafes on Roberta Avenue, the children's play park and the stunning estuary waterfront which leads to the Tahuna Torea reserve and sandspit. Glendowie Kindergarten, School and College are also just a short walk away.
