Kapiti – Waikanae Village
eHaus Euro - Passive House Low Energy Standard - Non Certified
This home is tucked away in a sleepy avenue in a new subdivision. Low maintenance and a warm comfortable home were the key drivers that were critical for this client. On a recent visit after a couple of years in the home the owner confirmed we had hit the mark. A compact design with 3 bedrooms a generous open plan dining living area. Good indoor outdoor flow with covered decked areas make perfect sense to enjoy the lazy days of summer in this popular, growing community.
