Where Luxury Meets Practicality
If you are looking for the ultimate in design perfection and style, set in a location that boasts panoramic coastal views, you cannot go past 420 Minden Road.
Nestled into a sheltered and established north facing position up the Minden, this property enjoys a front row seat to the very best views that the Bay of Plenty has to offer. Drawing inspiration from the iconic setting, our vendors together with Award Winning Architect, Brendon Gordon cleverly designed the sleek and contemporary 597m2 residence that the family enjoys today. Seeking a home that works for comfortable family living equally as well as entertaining friends and family, great importance was placed upon independence and interdependence of living and social spaces. The 'C-Bus' home automation system ensures that the extensive lighting and temperature controls operate effectively maintaining energy efficiency as befits the very latest in modern living design. The 'Russ' sound system operates across six zones and six channels to cater for the various AV requirements and musical preference. Four family bedrooms tailor off the main hallway, whilst the guest suite is deliberately distant from family zones. The master bedroom features a walk-through robe. Double doors laced with strands of reed open onto the luxurious ensuite which features a cubist glass feature wall mirrored on the outside of the house as an external wall. Dual kitchens (one the sleek social side, and the rear kitchen providing a practical workspace with lots of shelving and cupboards) facilitate easy family dining and large scale entertaining. The open plan kitchen, living and dining area captures the natural light and transitions effortlessly through to the main outdoor living area. Our vendors have loved spending evenings here in front of the impressive gas fire and watching their children play in the 46m infinity pool. Or for a less active evening, chilling in the den over a game of pool, movie or snuggling in with a book from the built-in shelves. The children's play room provides plenty of room for the toys to be spread, whilst being centred in the heart of the home near the kitchen and dining. The slide-away doors can hide the chaos in a hurry and also mute the children's noise too! A large office complete with in-built desk and shelving spanning the length of the room creates a very workable home office. The gym opens effortlessly through bi-fold doors and louvres to the view. The floodlit tennis court is a popular neighbourhood gathering spot for a game of doubles, whilst onlookers gather in front of the open wood fire.
Three bay garaging, a carport and separate storage room with a work bench allows room for the vehicles and toys and completes the package on offer. This symmetrical home with sleek style is a property where no expense has been spared to create a lifestyle well above the ordinary and with an equally spectacular view to match.
