Lake Virginia Residence
About
This stunning residence, situated in the heart of Wanganui, was designed in 2020 for a family who enjoys hosting guests. It has since won awards for its magnificent kitchen design, which was crafted by Du Bois Designer Kitchens and Interiors. Designer of the Year 2022 was awarded to Natalie Du Bois for her exceptional work on this project.
The attention to detail throughout the home is exceptional, with all fixtures thoughtfully placed for both functionality and aesthetics. The expansive Caesarstone island benchtop, for example, is wrapped in layers of concrete, making it both unique and impressive. The kitchen lighting is equally impressive, with quirky pendants that draw the eye without detracting from the island's central role in the room.
The home's monochrome palette gives it a sophisticated and earthy feel, without detracting from its architectural character. Located on a spacious property, with the Rotokawau/Virginia Lake Reserve just behind it, the home is positioned to provide optimal privacy.
Upon arriving, visitors are greeted by a stately drive, flanked by hedges and staked standards, leading to a drive-through portico that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Inside, the ground floor spans an impressive 377m2, while the upper floor measures 185m2. The home includes seven bedrooms, various living areas, a gym, and a triple garage.
Entering the home, guests are greeted with large double doors, a wrought iron balustrade, and stunning lighting that hangs from the high ceiling. The dining room, kitchen, and living areas are open-plan, with elegant Barn doors separating the lounge for added privacy.
This is a home that will be enjoyed for years to come, thanks to the outstanding work of the professionals and suppliers involved in its creation. To begin designing your dream home, contact the Arcline Team today.
