Westpeak Manor
A versatile and verdant executive haven is for sale for the first time since it was built as one of O¯ taki’s benchmark homes.
The stunning property, at 7 Westpeak Way, was developed in the 2000s and is as immaculate as it is picturesque.
Located in the heart of O¯ taki’s blue-chip plateau, the 379-square metre house is a magnificent retreat for executive families seeking the ultimate in sun and space.
With five double-bedrooms and three bathrooms, it also offers options for extended family living on a landscaped 2538sqm section with sweeping flat lawn, an enchanting gazebo and an array of deciduous trees in an autumnal blaze of full colour.
The low-maintenance, twostorey summerstone house includes an internal doublegarage but there’s also separate garaging for a third vehicle and a workshop.
The front door opens into a beautifully-presented foyer with an elegant staircase that ascends to the main bedroom suite.
The other double-bedrooms are on the ground floor, along with a choice of spacious living areas.
The large family room opens to a big sunny deck that steps down to lawn and garden and also can be accessed from one of the bedrooms.
The superbly-proportioned formal living room was designed for entertaining. It adjoins the formal dining room and has a modern bay window overlooking the lush surroundings.
There’s also a family/dining area that opens to the deck and is open-plan with the wellappointed kitchen (two wall ovens, an electric cooktop, a rangehood, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer, ample cupboard space).
Also on this level are a separate laundry and two bathrooms. One adjoins the laundry and has a shower, vanity and toilet; the other is in the bedroom wing. It’s similarly specified but includes a bath while the toilet is separate.
The third bathroom is an ensuite for the main bedroom. It has a bath, shower, vanity and toilet.
The main bedroom also has a walk-in wardrobe and adjoins a study at the top of the stairs.
Other features include gas heating, a gas fireplace in the family room, ceiling roses with chandeliers in the formal living and dining rooms, and a chandelier over the staircase.
‘‘This is a rare chance to buy one of Otaki’s finest homes,’’ Maureen Wallace, of Kelly & Co Realty, says. ‘‘Seldom if ever can you buy a house of this calibre and size.
‘‘And with Waitohu School just down the road, it offers everything families could wish for in a sought-after location that, with the opening of the Peka Peka to O¯ taki Expressway, is now even quicker to access from Wellington.’’
