A stylish, contemporary renovation has transformed this Beach Haven residence into a smart, sophisticated family home. Original 80s design has been reinvigorated with an on-trend Scandinavian palette, maximising the soaring ceilings and functional, two-level floorplan.

Jacaranda Avenue is a sought-after cul-de-sac in coastal Beach Haven. Its elevated position showcases views across the Waitemata Harbour, plus is close to the many popular reserves and local bays and beaches of the area.

From the road, a boardwalk crosses above the garden below to access the front entry. Every aspect of the property has been renovated and renewed – the dark, newly painted cedar exterior is the perfect contrast to the light, fresh interior design. Presented to showroom perfection, eye catching lines and angles create visual interest and have been modernised with white walls and ceilings inside – the perfect complement to the views across the water and to the Waitakeres. The open-plan family living area, dining and kitchen space is the hub of the home. Bespoke custom cabinetry in here is a sophisticated and useful addition to the room, with the use of light wood and white accents carried through to the design of the gourmet kitchen.

Doors open out on two sides to outdoor living, one to the wraparound deck overlooking the water, the other to the sheltered alfresco living area out front, perfect for summer entertaining. A north-westerly aspect floods the home with light and afternoon sun. A barn-style sliding wooden door flows into the separate lounge, which also opens out to both outdoor areas. The light-filled master bedroom and ensuite are also located on the top level – both bathrooms throughout have been finished to a luxurious level, with unique timber-finish tiles and matte black tapware.

The remaining accommodation is located downstairs – three double bedrooms serviced by the family bathroom with bath and separate toilet. There’s also a large office on this level, with access out to one of two decks down here. The landscaping that envelops the home is extremely low maintenance, with strategic plantings to add touches of greenery but that require no labour intensive upkeep. If a garden is desired by the new owner however, there is potential for the backyard to be terraced.

This renovation has been executed with a skilful eye and flair for interior design, creating a chic yet comfortable family home environment.
