ELEGANT STUNNER at Raumati Beach

OFFERS above $2.5 million are invited for a luxurious Raumati Beach home with views as astonishing as its specifications.

The five-bedroom house, at 111 Rosetta Rd, combines an opulent interior with indoor/outdoor living on two sides, an infinity swimming pool and spectacular panoramas of the Tasman Sea and Kapiti Island.

Designed by Phil Stanfield, of Emerge Architectural Design, it measures 490 square metres, has a full cavity plaster system exterior with a traditionally styled stone chip metal roof, and is on a 1312sqm beachfront section with a triple-garage, adjoining boat garage, and off-street parking.

‘‘This is a magnificent home that set a benchmark for Kapiti Coast living when it was completed in 2009,’’ Robyn Steele, of Harcourts, says.

‘‘It epitomises elegance and craftsmanship, and will sell for a fraction of its replacement cost.’’

Rooms and spaces have been arranged to maximise the northwestern outlook over Kapiti Island while to the east are views of the Tararua Range.

These can be seen from the designer kitchen, which has Miele appliances, and a butler’s pantry with a built-in coffee maker.

Bifolding doors open off the dining area to a private, paved patio, which has an outdoor fire and wraps around to the front of the house, where the heated infinity pool appears to fuse with the sea.

The American oak floored central foyer, with its curved staircase, opens both to the family area and adjoining lounge, which share a double-sided gas fireplace.

It also leads to the exceptionally large main suite. This opens to a private spa pool with sliding shutters on one side, and a deluxe dressing room and ensuite with a bath, wet shower, toilet and dual designer vanities, on the other.

There’s a large laundry and powder room on this level and another upstairs, along with four double-bedrooms (one of which is being used as an office), and a third living room that opens to a deck and has a gas fireplace.

Two of the bedrooms open to decking; one has a dressing room and ensuite, while two other bedrooms share an ensuite.

Other features include solid kwila fullheight doors and joinery, copper spouting, central heating, undertile bathroom heating, smart wiring, an outdoor shower and fishcleaning sinkbench.

‘‘There couldn’t be a better time to invest in a waterfront property of this calibre,’’ Robyn Steele says.

‘‘Kapiti Coast real estate is surging ahead with unprecedented investment in the district’s infrastructure that will boost the local economy and population while cutting travelling time to Wellington from 40 minutes to half-an-hour.’’

The property has a rateable value of $2.65 million.
