39 Kent Terrace, Riverhead

Uniquely stylish, this light‑filled, low‑maintenance waterfront home is where modern living meets everyday simplicity. The home features a contemporary gabled form of modern‑rustic aesthetic. 

Tucked away from the road, the only soundtrack is the morning and evening birdsong. Surrounded by nature and the deep green of the water on high tide, the home enjoys all-day sun and a tranquility that can only be understood by being there.

Large windows and sliding glass doors create a seamless flow to the outdoors, while the simple lines, natural textures, and thoughtful detailing give the home a calm, refined character. Surrounded by lush greenery, the home feels both architecturally sharp and beautifully integrated with its environment. 

Thoughtfully crafted across split levels, the contemporary open‑plan layout makes the most of the natural contour of the land. The generous open‑plan living and kitchen area flow onto the private, sun‑soaked deck, making alfresco dining and easy entertaining part of everyday life. Wide windows that frame the natural outlook make the outdoors feel like an extension of the home.

With three bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a powder room, and a dedicated office for working from home, the layout is both practical and stylish. Skylights featured throughout the home, fill every room with natural light.

The easy‑care section is perfect for anyone wanting more time to enjoy a hassle‑free lifestyle. Wander down to the water’s edge to launch your kayak, enjoy a spot of fishing, or paddle over to the neighbouring pub for a pint - a reminder that life can be delightfully carefree.

Riverhead has the kind of community that feels both relaxed and quietly vibrant. Set along the upper Waitematā Harbour, it blends a peaceful, semi‑rural atmosphere with a growing village hub with cafés, local eateries, craft breweries and friendly neighbourhood spots. Long‑time locals and new residents mix easily, creating a warm, down‑to‑earth feel. With its riverside walks, access to the water, a strong school and sporting community and easy reach to both the North Shore and Westgate, Riverhead offers a lifestyle that feels connected yet wonderfully unhurried.

If you’ve been searching for that effortless waterfront lifestyle with warm community living, this could be it.
