Exceptional Residence With Stunning Designer Kitchen And Pool

Welcome to Light House, a striking 452m² (approx.) Abodo-clad residence designed by Dylan Rhynd of DPRD Studio Architecture, where innovative design, exceptional craftsmanship, and contemporary luxury come together.

Three dramatic full-length skylights and expansive glazing flood the interiors with natural light. Honed and polished concrete, tactile stone, and French oak create a sophisticated yet welcoming palette, while an impressive entrance foyer, striking architectural staircase, and elevated walkway highlight the home’s distinctive character. The thoughtfully configured layout places the main living areas and four of the five bedrooms together on the upper level.

At the heart of the home, a spectacular designer kitchen features a distinctive oak and marble island, integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances and a generous scullery. Open-plan family living and a separate lounge flow seamlessly to sheltered Louvretech decks, an outdoor gas fireplace and barbecue area. Beyond, landscaped entertaining spaces surround the heated saltwater swimming pool, while private, fully fenced gardens and a raised AstroTurf terrace provide an idyllic setting for relaxation and recreation.

Five generous bedrooms are complemented by three elegantly appointed bathrooms and a guest powder room, with the family bathroom providing direct access to an outdoor shower. Underfloor heating, ducted air conditioning, and Warm Roof technology ensure year-round comfort, while sophisticated smart-home automation allows remote control of lighting, security, blinds, and entertainment. Substantial four-car garaging provides ample space for vehicles and recreational equipment.

Perfectly positioned close to the Bays beaches, cafés, parks, Madills Farm Reserve and sought-after schools, including Kohimarama School and Glendowie College, Light House combines architectural distinction, privacy, and convenience in one remarkable family sanctuary.
