For lovers of all things beautiful, solid and timber we present to you a TOTALLY UNIQUE home, the likes of which is rarely seen in Titirangi. Imported a few years ago from 'Honka Log Homes' in Finland, and perfectly constructed on the slopes of a tranquil bush section in Titirangi, was naturally 'a match made on the Fringe of Heaven.'
Designing a log house allowed the original owners to play with details, innovative spaces and the combination of different materials. At its best, the end result was a work of art: expressive, vivid and completely unique, ensuring that this was a home that would stand the test of time and cope with the challenges of living in a natural and private bush environment.
Build primarily of massive Finnish Pine logs, one of the world's most eco-friendly building materials, the timber walls have the unique ability to absorb heat and release it back into the air when it becomes cooler inside. This helps regulate the temperature of your home while keeping energy usage and costs down. Combine this with superior quality, double glazed windows and doors and you've got a well-insulated, energy-efficient log house that will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Upstairs an oversized kitchen and open plan living area leads on to the generous deck which stretches the length of the home providing splendid and sunny outdoor living. What better place to relish in the beauty that surrounds you .... towering Nikaus, soaring wood pigeons, playful tuis and a view of the Manukau harbour in the distance. Isn't this what a Titirangi lifestyle is all about?
Five bedrooms, a second living area downstairs, landscaped gardens, a chook shed in the back yard plus many other extras are just waiting to be discovered. And at the end of the day, unwind in true Scandinavian style in your own personal sauna.
This truly is your EVERY DAY GETAWAY!
