The Glass House on Bridge View
Tucked at the quiet end of Bridge View Road is an architectural masterpiece quite unlike anything else in Birkenhead Point. Hamish Monk took the vendors' love of the Okahu Bay boatsheds and Japanese design and created a 4-bedroom retreat with the 'wow' factor - a house in complete harmony with its native bush setting.
Expansive open-plan living is framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and high raked ceilings that showcase magnificent views across the harbour and bush to the city skyline. An earthy palette of brown, charcoal and mushroom brings Zen to every room, as does the lush landscaping the house looks out on.
The designer kitchen boasts a double self-cleaning Gaggenau oven and is separated by a Japanese Noren curtain from a spacious scullery. The large gas fireplace in the living creates warmth and ambience. A versatile Guest Suite (bedroom/office and bathroom) on this level make for an easy work-from-home solution, along with an internal-access double garage.
Draped over several levels, the stylish "exterior" cedar walls in the wide hallway and exposed concrete downstairs are just two of many stylish features in this Control4 Smart Home. Step outside and up to a sheltered terrace deck (with more jaw-dropping views and scope for an outdoor kitchen) or down to a luxurious bathroom with deep stone bath and mirrored glass for the ultimate in private relaxation.
The lower bedroom level comprises the master and an ensuite and access through sliding doors to the deck, fully fenced & landscaped gardens and flat lawn. Also on the bedroom level, there are two more bedrooms, (or one plus an office), a cosy second lounge/media room, a small wine cellar and a discrete laundry cupboard.
Bush tracks to the city ferry are nearby, and the Point's cafes are a five-minute stroll away. Call today for viewing appointments!
