New, green and good as it gets

This is a unique opportunity to own a next generation property that will care for you and delight you like nothing else on the market, and do that in a way that protects the environment too. This is a one-off design from NZ Proud that’s got smart features and sustainability running through its DNA.

There’s environmentallyconscious ingenuity and stunning craftsmanship everywhere you look, and just as much again within the fabric and construction of this building that you’ll benefit from in every moment you call this house your home.

The Abodo timber cladding and decking is harvested from renewable New Zealand plantation forest that’s thermally modified to be super-durable and low maintenance. The metal cladding is similarly smart and stays good-as-new with an occasional soft wash.

Beneath all this is an Eco-ply weather tight and rigid air barrier that forms a secondary defence against moisture penetration, wrapped around an advanced building frame that allows for deeper insulation and greater resilience against earthquakes.

The 232 square metre house has been designed to suit the 595 square metre plot, with the living areas, decking and gardens oriented north to make the most of the sunshine, with a layout that flows through double-glazed low-e windows and sliding doors to blur the outside and inside spaces.

The super-high, angled ceilings give every room a fresh openness, while the materials and finishes have an extra level of attention to detail and quality. The joinery, stone benchtops and decoration are all exceptional. The woollen carpets are renewable and hypoallergenic while there’s sound absorbing underlay beneath the water resistant laminate.

With four super-sized bedrooms plus a purpose-built study, this is a rare example of a home that is ready to accommodate today’s hybrid world where more of us work where we live. The whole property is hard-wired with data cabling and access points to make this as connected and ‘always on’ as can be.

There are two generous living rooms, two superbly-appointed bathrooms with underfloor tile heating, an ensuite to the master bedroom and an enormous walk-in wardrobe. There’s ample storage throughout with built-in cabinetry, a butler’s pantry next to the restaurant-class kitchen, and a super-efficient heating and ventilation system to keep the home’s ambient temperature at a comfortable level no matter what the season. Even the double garage door is insulated to help with your energy bills and consumption.

NZ Proud work exceptionally hard to create their homes. With a 10 year master builder’s warranty included for your peace of mind, it will be a pleasure to live in.
