In the heart of Takapuna, this stunning architecturally designed home by Mercer and Mercer replaces an aging family residence with a thoughtfully crafted, contemporary retreat. With only the original garage remaining, extensive groundworks set the foundation for a home designed to embrace modern family living — a standard of excellence that has since earned a Gold Award in the New Home $2–4 million category and a place in the National Top 100 at the 2025 Master Builders House of the Year awards.

Featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, and a rumpus room, the layout maximises both functionality and breathtaking city views. Indoor–outdoor flow is a key focus, with expansive decking leading to a beautifully designed pool by Ultimate Pools at the front, while a spa and outdoor living area create a private retreat at the back.

A standout feature of the home is its exterior, clad in thermally modified timber weatherboards by Abodo, chosen for durability and a natural aesthetic. Complemented by an elegant iroko balustrade, the design blends warmth and sophistication. This award-winning build perfectly balances style and practicality, delivering a modern family home built for comfort, relaxation, and timeless appeal.
