"Quirky, unique, and like stepping into a piece of art. Sure, it needs work - but the reward will be extraordinary." Wellington architect Ian Athfield - a legend of New Zealand design - was best man at the wedding of the home's very first owner. As his gift, he created the plans for this remarkable, character-filled property on the fringe of Whangarei. Built in the 1970s, the home showcases Athfield's unmistakable style, with its playful arrangement of spaces, striking rooflines, solid plaster construction, and beautiful slate and timber flooring. Decades later, it remains a testament to his creativity and craftsmanship. Over the years, the property has been entrusted to a thoughtful line of owners - a dentist, an anaesthetist, a lawyer - and most recently, the much-loved Lynne Roff, its last resident, who has sadly now earned her wings. Each custodian has appreciated the uniqueness of the home and preserved its character. One of the home's defining features is its flexible, free-flowing design. Living spaces effortlessly convert to bedrooms and vice versa, adapting to the needs of the moment. The functional essentials - kitchen, bathroom, toilets, and laundry are cleverly fixed, while a series of verandas, decks, and terraces spill across every level, inviting sunshine, fresh air, and relaxed living. A truly special property, rich with story, artistry, and charm. Roll up your sleeves, you are about to invest in one of Whangarei's unique homes, where memories are made.
