9 Seawatch Way, Atawhai, Nelson

Being offered to market for the first time is this incredible, architectural house of impressive scale with remarkable panoramic views - you're five minutes from town but in a world of your own.

Designed by David Jerram, this five-bedroom home makes a grand statement. First glance takes in a steel architectural element, and a matching dramatic curve in the building, plus a double height entrance.

Inside, lofty double front doors open to a wide atrium down the full length of the house with huge picture windows at each end and a glass ceiling.

Luxurious living abounds, with two bedrooms downstairs plus an office or fifth bedroom, and two on the mezzanine above.

A high, curved wall leads to the private master suite with extraordinary views. Bi-fold doors open to a private patio with space for hot tub. The fully tiled ensuite is impressive in size and features a bath with a sea view and double vanity unit. Adjoining this is a large walk-in dressing room with copious storage.

The two upstairs bedrooms are at either end of a mezzanine level which overlooks the corridor below. The northern bedroom has French doors to a private balcony.

The kitchen has room for many hands, with striking black granite benchtops, double sinks, Miele appliances, and quality Bays Joinery cupboard units. You can serve drinks to the outdoor bar via a bi-fold window, overlooking the seascape and garden where a waterfall feeds a large pond; atmospheric with its night lighting.

Kitchen/dining and living have a two-way glass gas fire between. The twinkle of city and across-Bay lights adds to dinner party atmosphere, with the dining room designed for a banquet-size table.

Take your pick of outdoor patio areas, connected to living and master bedroom downstairs. This is a fabulous place to entertain - appreciating the changing moods of the Haven and the Bay.

You don't often find such a section on the Atawhai hills this large and lovely, especially with a home of such distinction.
