🌴🏠 NEW LISTING - Twin Palms 🏠🌴
Stand beneath the leadlight windows as the afternoon sun streams through the glass and it is easy to imagine a very different Waiheke.
When this home was built (beside affectionately known as ‘twin palms island’) in the 1940s, the island was a patchwork of farmland, orchards and quiet bays. Roads were little more than winding tracks, fishing boats outnumbered ferries, and the surrounding village that exists today was still decades away. Built from solid concrete and stucco, this home was created to last, and more than eighty years on, it continues to do exactly that.
Elevated, in a peaceful, sun drenched position, Twin Palms has evolved gracefully with each generation. The current owners have carefully shaped the home around modern family life, creating a place that feels warm, sheltered and welcoming in every season. Golden matai flooring flows beneath your feet, generous storage has been thoughtfully integrated throughout, and extensive improvements behind the scenes, from rewiring and insulation to new joinery, heating and gas hot water, ensure the home performs as beautifully as it presents.
Life naturally spills outdoors here. More than 75sqm (approx) of decking wraps around the home across three distinct entertaining areas, allowing you to follow the sun, find shelter from the breeze, share long lunches with friends or settle into a quiet corner with a book. As evening arrives, the western aspect delivers the kind of sunsets that remind you why people fall in love with island living.
