73 Hadfield Street, Beach Haven, Auckland

Indulge in the tranquility of a true escape from the city conundrum. Crafted by the acclaimed architect Ray Van Wayenburg, this home stands as a testament to the artful fusion of materials, culminating in an unforgettable display of elegance and style.

It's been proven that being surrounded by nature decreases stress and ensures a happy and relaxed lifestyle.

Situated on a large freehold site that has been magnificently planted and framed by natives. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow makes it feel like the garden is an extension of the living area. Louvered glass, stacking doors, and windows are perfect for opening up rooms to nature. The boundaries between inside and out are further blurred by the use of earth tones and natural materials such as concrete, cedar, and American oak.

The modernist black and steel kitchen has 2.7 metre-high floor-to-ceiling louvered windows for architectural drama. The cantilever deck and living room from which you have a see-through sea view completes the drama. It's a place you rush home to every day so that you won't miss the sunset.

The main bedroom has a dedicated floor with stunning sea views, a walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious bathroom. Enter by a sensational stairwell that leads to a wall of shoji screens, immediately transporting you to a quiet harmonious Japanese space. The living area has a built-in window seat and a gas fire making it snug in winter. While downstairs has two further bedrooms, a sleek laundry, a family bathroom, and plenty of storage. This home would not be out of place in any architectural magazine.

This has been a perfect home for the current family. They love the great harbour views surrounded by native bush with easy accessibility to the city. Their son has loved exploring the bush and swimming and kayaking from the local beach. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, a bittersweet move south has become a necessity.
