Located in Old Wanaka this residential build truly has it all. Designed to fit within it’s inner township site only a few minutes’ walk to the heart of Wanaka town and the infamous Wanaka Lakefront the street exterior gives little away to scale and seclusion and privacy of this property once you pass through the large cedar entry.
With open spaces that flow seamlessly from one to the next you are in no doubt from entry this home has been incredibly well thought out and impeccably designed. What comes next is the attention to detail and the owner’s vision and flawless interior.
At the heart of this home is the almost seamless flow from the interior to the exterior living spaces, sitting centre-stage is the large swimming pool complete with its own mote, this is where you’ll find the Summer living space, an area to lounge poolside with friends and family to the right an elevated deck with a cleverly designer louvre system and exterior fireplace ensuring both summer and winter dining. Back inside the kitchen and open stair case with glass roof leave you wondering if they are simply just art.
Comprised of a series of materials with a nod to a monochrome palette with crisp white framed solidly with black steel and dark vertical cedar.
