332 MacWhinney Drive, Drury, Papakura District, Auckland

Spectacular doesn't even begin to describe the panoramic views of the city and breathtaking sunsets from this north-facing contemporary five-bedroom home plus a spacious study. Nestled in the Drury hills, north facing overlooking Auckland, from the Waitakere Ranges to Manukau Harbour and across to the Sky Tower. This high quality build was designed by Peter Stoupe, a timeless home (472m2) that celebrates its spectacular environment.

A beautiful, roomy open plan kitchen, living, and dining area moods with impressive views. It is here you will be able to host extravagant parties that spill outdoors onto the immaculate lawn and covered patio. A butler's pantry, double sink, along with brand-new ovens make family life and hosting easy. Each of the five bedrooms are spacious and a skillful design provides independence for the kids, while mum and dad gain extra privacy with a large en-suite. There are also a further two bathrooms and an office for working from home plus a TV room.

Sitting on a hectare of land (more or less), there is an established veggie garden, native plants, mature fruit trees, space for chooks, and a small hobby farm. With green-belted land bordering the home, there is no chance of development and you can continue to peacefully enjoy the abundant birdlife, including tui, kingfishers, quail, and pheasants.

Elegance is high on the agenda, from the 2.7m glass-fronted double entranceway that provides an impressive welcome to the floating glass features, from the louver windows for subtle ventilation to the underfloor heating. You will be able to ensure your Tesla is ready to go with a specially installed 15amp electric vehicle charging point in the five-car garage, with a large basement that gives you handy extra storage. Situated on a private road that is CCTV monitored, and within a few minutes' drive of the motorway, this is an ideal location to embrace the country life.
