With a revered heritage and standing proudly on an expansive, private and sheltered 2,206sqm section, this substantial residence at the heart of Mangawhai Heads offers a rare opportunity. For over a century, the owners family has enriched this community, now passing on their cherished home, designed by the notable Philippa Johnson Architect.
Embraced by the serenity of a quiet locale, the first row property gazes upon an uninterrupted 180-degree panorama of the Estuary and the sea, thanks to the adjacent public reserve—a gift from the family's ancestors. The Hinuera brick cladding promises not only aesthetic grace but enduring quality.
The two-storey, 370sqm home presents immaculately, inviting those with vision to infuse contemporary flair. Living spaces are plentiful, including two lounges, a study, and a spacious rumpus with an authentic bar, all designed for hosting and family engagements. Four bedrooms ensure privacy, with the master suite opening to a balcony that commands views of the estuary, for moments of reflection or sunrise greetings.
The grounds whisper tales of joyous gatherings amidst the landscaped tropical gardens, with a variety of fruit trees providing a seasonal bounty. The heated in-ground saltwater pool and adjacent cabana beckon for summertime entertainment.
Located within a coveted enclave, this Mangawhai Heads icon, potentially subdividable, with a pre-established driveway, is more than a home—it's a legacy awaiting its next custodian. The promise of seclusion, panoramic vistas, and a lifetime of memories lies within this coastal haven.
