31 Tullamore Maunu, Whangarei District

Some homes are built to sell. Others are built for a lifetime.

Tucked quietly at the end of a sweeping driveway within the established and gated enclave of Tullamore, this remarkable residence, created by the original developer of Tullamore as his own family home, is being offered for the very first time.

Built in 2003 by the original developer of Tullamore himself, the home stands today as a testament to thoughtful design, enduring craftsmanship and the life that has unfolded within its walls. Designed for family, for comfort, and for care, the residence was purpose-built to accommodate the needs of its owners, including thoughtful accessibility and generous proportions throughout.

Set upon an impressive 6,239 sqm of flat volcanic land, the 486 sqm residence unfolds across a beautifully designed single-level footprint. Rich Jarrah hardwood floors, soaring stud heights, exposed timber beams and substantial detailing give the home a warmth and character that modern builds rarely achieve. At its heart sits a magnificent kitchen - truly the hub of the home - featuring timber and granite benchtops, exceptional storage, expansive breakfast bar seating and a suite of quality appliances that will delight even the most enthusiastic entertainer.

Multiple living areas spill effortlessly to the outdoors, where the north-facing courtyard and swimming pool create a private haven for relaxation and celebration alike. It is easy to imagine the countless gatherings, summer afternoons and family milestones that have been enjoyed here.

Accommodation is both generous and versatile. The main residence offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two additional toilets, while a beautifully integrated two-bedroom apartment provides complete independence with its own living spaces, patio, laundry and parking. Perfect for extended family, caregivers, guests or as a potential home and income opportunity, the flexibility here is exceptional.

The arrival experience is equally memorable. Entering through the gated Tullamore enclave, through the subdivision and then to 31 and the circular drive where beautifully landscaped grounds, block-paved parking and a residence that sits confidently within its surroundings is revealed - elegant, welcoming and quietly impressive.

With features including central vacuum, built-in sound system, heat pumps, ceiling fans, sprinkler system, extensive storage and garaging interconnected by covered access, every detail has been carefully considered.

More than just a home, this is a property built with purpose, pride and longevity in mind - a legacy residence that now awaits its next chapter.

For the next owners, 31 Tullamore offers something increasingly rare: scale, substance, privacy and timeless quality in one of Maunu's most established and admired settings.
