7 Tutere Street, Waikanae Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Positioned on a prized stretch of absolute beachfront in Olde Beach, this is a residence of extraordinary calibre – an offering so rare it is seldom seen and even more rarely secured.

Designed by celebrated architect Justin Wright and engineered by the renowned Dunning Thornton, whose portfolio includes some of Wellington’s most significant structures, this home is a seamless collaboration of vision and precision. Crafted to exacting standards by Black Pine Construction, it stands as a statement of architectural integrity and uncompromising quality.

Clad in exquisite imported Californian Redwood, the exterior presents refined, sculptural lines that sit effortlessly against the coastal landscape. A separate, generously proportioned double garage enhances both privacy and functionality, while discreetly accommodating an additional toilet – ideal after a day on the sand.

Accommodation is positioned with intention on the ground floor, set down for shelter, leaving the spectacular upstairs living to take centre stage. The master suite is a sanctuary in its own right, complete with a beautifully appointed ensuite and direct access to the expansive deck, where the rhythm of the tide becomes your daily backdrop. In total, the home offers two bathrooms and four separate toilets, thoughtfully configured for effortless family living and refined entertaining.

Upstairs, the main living areas are nothing short of breathtaking. With a sophisticated industrial loft aesthetic, yet embracing a coastal feel the open-plan space is framed by sweeping sea views and flooded with natural light. This is a setting designed for elevated entertaining and quiet reflection alike – a place where morning coffee meets horizon sunrises and evenings unfold with the sound of the ocean below.

Beachfront in Olde Beach of this distinction is exceptionally rare. A home of architectural significance, enduring materials and absolute coastal presence – this is not simply a property, but a legacy holding in one of the Kapiti Coast’s most tightly held enclaves.
