459 Te Moana Road, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

A crossroad between contemporary comfort and sleek design, close to shops and transport links while still keeping space for lush gardens and all-day sun - all while less than 5 minutes from central Waikanae. This property has all that and more, without compromising on tranquil, sophisticated living in the heart of the Waikanae prestigious garden area.

Originally built in the 70s, 459 Te Moana Road is a fresh, contemporary property that expertly balances architectural style and classic charm, particularly with the modern atrium designed by Fritz Eisenhofer. This stunning addition floods the home with light and warmth through vaulted skylights and wide windows, offering views to the garden and an incredible spot to soak in the sunshine year round.

At the heart of the house is the living room, with the handsome schist fireplace drawing the eye to the high ceilings and radiant atrium beyond. This living space connects all areas of the home, ensuring social, accessible, easy living. The nearby open-concept kitchen-dining is spacious, featuring a breakfast bar, sublime garden views, and plenty of space for a large table for family gatherings and parties.

The house features two bedrooms, with the secluded master boasting a generous walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite with a cubicle shower and double vanity. The other bedroom is a double and has private access, perfect for hosting guests. A spacious study offering built-in bookshelves and office space is versatile for an additional third bedroom.

The gardens too are just as meticulously designed and maintained as the interior - landscaped lawns, expansive patios, and forest pathways through the mature foliage offer your own private nature reserve and parks to explore and play in. Vegetable beds, alongside native and fruit trees, and the chorus of birdsong within, bring so much life and colour to this incredible home.
