Modernist Retreat

For lovers of MCM architecture, it does not get better than this. Set in a sun-drenched clearing among a large tract of lush native bush (in 2 titles - 1047m2 and 1108m2), Tui Lodge, a stunning 5-bedroom classic, was designed in the 1950s by renowned architect Bill Chick. It was recently sympathetically renovated to incorporate modern comforts and luxurious warmth. From the impressive American Maple lined double height entry, it unfolds to generous upper level living which overlooks an expansive lawn inviting children to play. There is an open fire and a sun room with full height glass slider forms a clever double skin, insulating the rest of the living from the heat of summer and the chill of winter. A huge master suite takes pride of place upstairs, opening out to a large sunny deck. Curved American Maple panelling incorporates ample built-in storage. Taking its cue from the Modernist era, the ensuite is fully tiled with a mosaic floor and features underfloor heating. Other bedrooms and a study on the lower level share a second large bathroom which also has underfloor heating and a sauna. There is a separate laundry and separate wc by the kitchen. Heat pumps keep both levels cosy in winter. Room-sized storage is a bonus under the stairs and there is more in the garage which has been sound-proofed for use as a music studio. The property is beautifully groomed with easy parking big enough to accommodate several owners' and visitor cars. Handy to Titirangi Village and Primary School. Truly exceptional, this handsome collector's treasure, is a rare lifestyle retreat that can be yours to covet.
