Architectural Sanctuary

Nestled amid native bush and birdsong, with captivating harbour views and indelible architecture, this three-bedroom hideaway offers a unique lifestyle steeped in nature on the cusp of the city.

As soon as you step off the oversized car pad and onto the picturesque path that threads through hedging and natives to the boardwalk entrance, you feel as if you're in a world of your own where serenity, greenery and scenery abound.

Designed by Alan Minty, whose iconic homes are synonymous with blue-chip Khandallah, this split-level sanctuary is tucked away in the treetops overlooking a bush-clad ravine as breathtaking as the harbour view that stretches beyond Maupuia to the Orongorongos.

The views can be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining and living areas on the upper level as well as the double-bedrooms below while in-between are the bathroom/laundry and a separate toilet that's recently been upgraded.

Everything about this lodge-style haven has been superbly considered, from the strategically-placed glazing to optimise outlook and light, to the ingenious storage throughout and under the house, to the soaring chapel ceilings with a striking timber-grain texture that enhances the rustic ambience.

This is a home for everyone from young families and couples thinking of starting one to professionals seeking work-from-home versatility and empty-nesters who love to entertain.

Here, you can breakfast or brunch in the sun, dine as the moon rises over the waterfront, relax with a glass of wine around the roar and warmth of the Jayline woodburner, or BBQ on the sheltered, private deck where you can reach out and touch the trees.

Much loved for the last 18 years, this home's beautifully presented with lovely flourishes like the flame-blown paua lampshade over the dining table, vintage track-lighting in the kitchen that looks over a leafy pebble-stone courtyard, and underfloor heating for the ultimate in toasty cosiness.

There's even a handsome, modern ceiling fan in the lounge that circulates warm air in winter and cool air in summer.

The sought-after city-end Khandallah location means you're never far from the city or motorway while Cashmere School is a just short stroll away.

And if you love the great outdoors, there's nearby Khandallah Park with its 60ha of native bush and 9km of walkways.

This delightful home is known locally as "the birdhouse" while the owner calls it her "treehouse". Regardless of which description is most apt, there's no other house like.
