Estuary View House
Whangamata
Nestled atop a steep perch overlooking Whangamata's charming harbour, Estuary View House is an elegant and timeless architectural beauty. Embraced by lush native coastal foliage, this distinctive west-facing site offers panoramic vistas of the picturesque township and the distant island beyond the sea.
Conceived with meticulous attention to the site's existing features, the design ingeniously integrates an abandoned foundation and basement footprint, lending a sustainable touch to its construction history. Comprising three levels, the residence is ingeniously split into two distinct family abodes, with the basement level featuring a versatile 'granny flat' suitable for rental or Airbnb accommodation.
The upper level, accessible from the road, boasts a double garage, spacious laundry, three bedrooms, a multifunctional rumpus room/study, two bathrooms, and an expansive open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. A sprawling balcony offers sweeping views, complemented by a quaint 'morning deck' to the east, bathed in sunlight—a serene spot for morning coffee indulgence.
Dedicated to Occupancy 02, the middle and basement levels house the primary living quarters. Featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a recreational rumpus/games room, and an open-plan living/kitchen/dining area opening onto its own generous deck, this level epitomises comfort and modern living. Connecting seamlessly to the basement via an internal staircase, it grants access to a private double garage, workshop, and the self-contained 'granny flat.'
Privacy takes precedence in the design ethos, ensuring unobstructed sightlines and views while safeguarding intimate spaces from prying eyes, both indoors and out.
