BEAUTIFUL HOMES

05. / A GRAND ENTERTAINER’S PARADISE

The Manor.

Situated in the picturesque Franklin area, The Manor is a stunning home that showcases luxurious living and sophisticated design. Spanning 342.5m², this home features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a double garage, making it the perfect sanctuary for families who value elegance and functionality.

A Striking First Impression
As you approach The Manor, the exterior commands attention with its thoughtful design. The combination of thermally modified pine and Mansion brick cladding creates a striking visual contrast, while cedar fascia and a copper entry feature add warmth and sophistication. This meticulous attention to detail sets the tone for the quality materials and craftsmanship that await inside.

Embracing Expansive Views
The manor is strategically positioned to maximise its surroundings, offering expansive northern views that stretch from the Hauraki Gulf to the iconic Sky Tower.

Large windows and open spaces throughout the home frame these breath-taking vistas, allowing natural light to flood the interior and creating a vibrant atmosphere.

“The open-plan living area is the heart of the home, featuring raking ceilings that enhance the feeling of volume.”

Entertainment Central
True to its nice, The Manor excels as an entertainer’s dream. The open-plan layout allows for easy flow between spaces, making it perfect for hosting gatherings of any size. A standout feature is the temperature-controlled area, conveniently located off the dining space. The entertaining options extend outdoors with a covered area equipped with a built-in barbeque.

This versatile space is ideal for summer barbeques or cosy winter evenings by the fire. Additionally, the outdoor fire pit and pool provide further opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment, making this home perfect for year-round entertaining.

Thoughtful Details
Throughout the home, luxury fittings and carefully chosen materials create a wonderful feeling of grandeur. From the engineered oak flooring to the vertical wall panelling, every element has been selected to enhance the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space.

Energy Efficiency Meets Style
The Manor is designed with energy efficiency in mind. The thermally modified pine cladding provides excellent insulation, while the strategic placement of windows and skylights maximises natural light and reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day.
