Ferndale, Kapiti

Clad in stained band-sawn macrocarpa and flanked with Manuka trees, this spacious, sunny home settles into its natural surroundings. The pavilion-style design creates a contemporary lodge feel, with a mix of neutral colour tones, textures and natural materials.The generous layout offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and two beautiful bathrooms. The master suite resides in the private south wing, with sun-loving living located to the north.

A large gable window demands attention in the open-plan living area, drawing the eye to the high raking ceilings. The interior is flooded with natural light. Polished concrete floors luxuriate in solar gain, lending a hand in heating this warm and comfortable home. A random-width timber feature wall with fireplace delivers warmth and texture. It cunningly incorporates access to a hidden lounge. The custom designed kitchen features a walk-in pantry and buffet unit for optimal storage. Large double-glazed sliding doors open up to a covered al fresco courtyard perfect for year round entertaining.
