This simple but groovy Kiwi bach was designed by award-winning Auckland architects, Fearon Hay. At 4 Ajax Head, Pauanui Beach, the cedar and Zincalume creation provides great views from the living area and master bedroom of the estuary and Coromandel Ranges.
These areas open through bifolds to an expansive deck,
which is warmed by an open fire at night.
With dining at one end and a sitting area at the other, the living space is a big and open and painted in modern taupe tones.
Stainless-steel appliances sparkle in the kitchen, which is divided from the rest of the room by an island bench. The chef can share in conversation and enjoy the view at the same time.
Cedar blinds add warmth at the windows throughout the house and cedar louvres on some of the walls allow gentle breezes to filter through the house in summer.
While the four bedrooms are big, the master bedroom in its own separate wing, is huge and has a big en suite featuring a double shower lined with small mosaic aubergine-coloured tiles. The other three bedrooms share a family bathroom.
The house is situated close to the shops and the Pauanui Club.
Lottie Ashwell of Richardsons Real Estate, Pauanui, is selling the 185 sq m home (excluding decks) for $350,000. Ph 07 864 8697 bus; mob 025 243 0078 mob.
