Privacy, space and style.
There's something special about a home that has been thoughtfully designed, beautifully built and given time to settle into its surroundings. At 15 Wrybill Way, the cedar has weathered to a soft silver grey, the hedges have grown tall, and the gardens have matured around the house. The result is a home with warmth, character and an unmistakable sense of belonging.
Designed by Olsen Architects, this north-facing property sits privately on a quiet, one-way street in Point Wells, just a short walk from the water. Its architecture combines elegant proportions, natural materials and carefully considered spaces, with a wonderful connection between indoors and out.
Inside, high ceilings and tall gable windows give the open-plan living area a beautiful sense of space and light. Wide oak floorboards bring warmth underfoot, while generous glazing frames the gardens and draws the eye outdoors. It's an inviting space that feels both beautifully finished and entirely comfortable.
The kitchen is equally well considered. Stylish and spacious, with a generous stone island, quality appliances and a separate scullery with a second sink, it combines clean, contemporary design with the practicality of everyday family life.
Large sliding doors open to covered outdoor living areas on either side of the house, each with its own character. To the west, an outdoor fireplace makes for a cosy place to sit as the sun goes down, and white stone plus lush planting give the sheltered courtyard a quieter, more intimate feel. Cedar-lined ceilings and glazed skylights are thoughtful details that make both spaces feel like natural extensions of the home.
The same attention to comfort and practicality continues through the rest of the house. Three generous double bedrooms include the main bedroom with its own ensuite and walk-in robe, while a family bathroom with a bath, separate study, powder room and laundry provide everything needed for day-to-day living.
And there's more to this property than the main house alone. A covered walkway leads to a separate building, where a spacious studio sits above the triple garage. With sloping ceilings, skylights and a sleeping area tucked away to one side, it's a lovely space in its own right. A kitchenette and shower room make it particularly useful for visiting family or older children wanting a little independence, while full-height doors open to a glass balustrade and a glimpse of the estuary beyond.
Below, the triple garage provides generous space for vehicles, bikes and beach gear. There is also ample additional off-street parking.
The gardens have been beautifully established over the years, with clipped hedges providing privacy, lush planting softening the architecture, and generous stretches of lawn leaving plenty of room for family life. Even the container swimming pool has been thoughtfully integrated into the garden, sitting comfortably within its surroundings.
Beyond the gate, Point Wells has the easy-going charm of a coastal village. Quiet streets are ideal for cycling and skateboarding, with a playground, tennis courts and swimming off the jetty at high tide. The local store is close by for everyday essentials or an ice cream on the way home, while Matakana's shops, cafés and markets, and Omaha's beach, golf course and boat ramp, are all just a short drive away.
Beautifully designed, carefully maintained and surrounded by gardens that have come into their own, this is a home with so much already in place. All that's missing is the family who will make it theirs.
