35C Faulder Avenue Westmere, Auckland City

An architect-designed urban retreat, created by Tim Dorrington and built by Box Studio, claiming a Silver Award in the 2018 Registered Master Builders House of the Year.

From the moment you enter through the automatic gates and walk along the landscaped boardwalk, the quality and thought behind this home are clear.

Full-height double glazing fills the home with natural light while framing peaceful views to established trees, offering privacy alongside openness. Honed masonry blocks, timber weatherboard cladding, and sharp black aluminium joinery create a clean, seamless architectural design.

The main living level is upstairs, with warm American oak flooring leading through to a kitchen designed for both quiet mornings and entertaining afternoons. A generous island is complemented by Miele and Asko appliances, double ovens and a separate pantry bench with a second sink. A double-sided Escea gas fire adds warmth and drama to the living area.

Stacker sliders open to two tiled decks, extending the living and dining spaces outdoors. At the rear, Vitex hardwood decking catches the afternoon sun, while downstairs, a private courtyard offers a sheltered garden retreat for slow mornings and quiet coffees.

Practicality has not been overlooked. Ceramic tiles with underfloor heating run throughout the foyer, downstairs living room, bedroom and every bathroom. A large internal access two-car garage offers extensive storage and a workbench, plus a separate garden shed and generous guest parking.

A short stroll connects you to the vibrant Westmere Village and the leafy surrounds of Coxs Bay Park.

This Private Haven is a considered piece of architecture, awarded for its craftsmanship and designed for a life lived well. Homes of this calibre, in this position, rarely come to market.
