31 Te Puru Drive, Maraetai, Manukau City, Auckland

Some homes are built to last. This one was built to stand out. Constructed in solid concrete, steel and glass, this architecturally designed five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence commands sweeping sea views from its elevated position, and it's ready for its next chapter.

The lower level offers genuine flexibility with two well-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, a natural fit for extended family, teenage kids who want their own space, or guests who'll be hard to move on.

Upstairs, three more bedrooms, topped off by a master suite that earns the title. Walk-through wardrobe, premium ensuite, and enough space to start and end the day properly.

The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together the way good design should, without trying too hard. The designer kitchen handles a dinner party as easily as a Tuesday night, and large sliding doors open the whole space onto the wrap-around deck. Out back, a built-in louvered pergola keeps the outdoor area usable through every season.

The architecture does more than look good. Built to pull in winter sun and stay cool through summer, it's a home that works with the climate rather than against it. The location matches the ambition - Maraetai Beach, Omana Beach, coastal walkways, cycling tracks, and boat ramp access all minutes away.

Five bedrooms, endless coastline, and a design that stands on its own. The only question is - how quickly you can get here?
