5 Titiwai Place, Birkenhead

Elegant, sophisticated, luxurious and resonant with warm, seductive Scandinavian-style character. Every inch of this carefully planned, high quality home, on the edge of a native bush valley reserve, is designed to provide true comfort and security. It is a tranquil lifestyle escape from the city.

By extending the original footprint, the large modern, hi-spec family home is a full renovation that references European design and premium build standards. In a stunning low maintenance, meticulously landscaped garden, its blend of easy indoor outdoor living spaces cater for both intergenerational living and work from home.

The large, light-filled entry bathes in a beautiful calming ambience which continues across pale oak floors into the main open plan areas. Surrounded by multiple glass sliders, the whole living space opens to several decks catching sun all-day. Snuggle up by the gas fire in winter and enjoy the gorgeous outlook. Entertain around the generous bespoke kitchen with its bar and clever storage. Let summers extend beyond the season on the expansive terrace warmed by a large log fire beneath a louvred canopy. Guests or relatives are luxuriously accommodated in a separate guest studio in the garden. Behind the double garage, a large, elevated office with sunny deck and treetop views is an inviting place to do business.

In total, there are five bedrooms, four bathrooms and three lounges. Of the four bedrooms upstairs, two share a master suite with lounge and the other two also have their own bathroom and a lounge. A guest bathroom sits at the entry. All bathrooms have underfloor heating. All rooms have heat pumps and the home is double glazed throughout, its premium cladding and insulation emulating passive house standards.

In a quiet cul-de-sac, close to Birkenhead and Highbury Park shops, cafes and restaurants, North Shore's great beaches and high decile schools, this exceptional home invites you to a magnificent lifestyle away from the stresses of the city so close.
