Waikanae Beach

Built by our David Reid Homes Wellington & Kapiti team, Here's a seaside house that offers the best of both worlds. This home took home three prestigious awards at the Regional House of the Year awards including the Supreme House of the Year under $1mil and it isn't hard to see why. It has all the character, lines and charm of a quintessential Kiwi weatherboard house, but with the benefits of a brand-new build. This beachy beauty is both cutting-edge and classic. Shades of blue play an important role in the 198sqm three-bedroom home that’s just a block away from the beach and the Tasman Sea beyond. Blue features in the exterior of the two-storey house along with smart white detailing, in the furnishings and in the cerulean kitchen splashback — not to mention the pool out the back. Laidback living is central to the house. The open-plan area takes up a swathe of the downstairs. The kitchen merges into the dining zone which, in turn, transitions into a pool deck in one direction and a lounge in the other. Wide sliding doors divide the dining and living spaces, creating separate rooms when needed. As if that’s not enough, there’s an outdoor pavilion with a louvred roof, timber walls and built-in fireplace. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an array of features such as timber balusters, an integrated pantry, designer lampshades, bifold windows and doors, solar panels and an outdoor shower make this a true classic hit.
