Anawim House is thought to have been Point Howard's very first hillside home, dating back to the late 1800s. Its history is fascinating. In 2017, the present owners completed a near-total rebuild with the help of multi award winning Simon Novak (Novak & Middleton Architects). The property is rich in understated luxury and comfort with great sun, incredible vistas and a deliciously relaxed vibe. Concealed from the road, there are panoramic views from almost every part of the house. No expense was spared in the quest for perfection, from soaring cathedral ceilings to a discreet commercial grade heating and cooling system, exquisite lighting design and hardwood floorboards. It is fully insulated and double glazed. The Poggenpohl cook's kitchen lacks nothing and includes a butler's pantry, scullery, Gaggenau appliances and Dekton bench tops. There is a fabulous outdoor kitchen for alfresco catering. Outdoor flow is integral to the design, ensuring a constant connection with considered landscaping and surrounding nature. Perfect as a permanent home or a convenient lock up and leave, this property is located within a 20 minute drive (off-peak) to central Wellington and a short walk to the beach.
