11 Emerald Avenue, Karaka, Franklin, Auckland

Poised on Hingaia Peninsula's sweeping coastline, this just completed Stonewood family home responds to its setting with authenticity, simplicity and intention, and offers an elevated Karaka lifestyle.

At a glance: 4 double bedrooms, 3 living areas, 2.5 bathrooms, al fresco entertaining space, double garage and off street parking.

From the double door entrance, a palette of rich, natural materials flows across every surface imbuing every room with intimacy.

The kitchen is well appointed, smart and robust, monochrome for a timeless look. Adjacent, the dining space and family room continue the home's rich material language and warm, tonal palette. Sliders open wide to an internal courtyard dissolving the boundary between inside and out.

A separate lounge invites lingering conversation, while the top floor flexi space could be a work-from-home office, teenagers' retreat / games room.

Each bedroom is double, with the master suite commanding panoramic water views, and boasting a magnificent dressing room and a serene en-suite bathroom with double vanity.

Thoughtfully landscaped for low-maintenance luxury, the 391 sqm (more or less) site incorporates off street parking.

Located in a prestigious enclave just steps to Evergreen Cafe and a short drive to excellent schools such as ACG Strathallan, motorways and shops, this is a retreat of convenience, atmosphere and enduring beauty.
