Renowned international luxury Yacht Designer and Architect, Alan Warwick stakes his reputation on quality, innovation and unique creativity. He demands this in his boats - and his home. The result - his creations mature with a personality and practicality that is timeless. Now, there is an opportunity for a discerning buyer to purchase his waterfront property, The Loft, comprising multi-level premises with an adjoining two-level home overlooking Kerikeri Inlet in the Bay of Islands. This unique habitat displays strong architectural style of the late 1970s now so sought after. Emphasis is on the relationship between family, friends and hospitality revolving around the large central courtyard linking the Loft to the house; which is an open plan entertaining area connecting the to the lower kitchen servery, featuring a bar and built-in fridges and merging to outdoor seating and a gazebo for casual dining. This unique floor plan has been designed for privacy and extensive water views. Hidden below on its own level is the master suite with views to Cape Brett. From 'his' and 'her' dressing rooms and separate spa room you can wander through native bush to a deep water cove below for a refreshing dip. The Loft consists of a large multi-purpose hall which lends itself to large gatherings of family and friends, currently used as a games area, with an adjoining kitchen, a dining area, two four berth bunk rooms, separate bathroom, separate toilet/vanity and a large workshop to support the activity in the hall. Above this cleverly designed ground level is a mezzanine floor with lounge for quiet relaxation or, if required, extra sleeping accommodation. This lounge has its own separate external entrance across a bridge from the road. Atop this mezzanine is the Studio tower with 360 views. The lower level of The Loft offers secluded ensuite guest accommodation with private decks amidst stunning native pungas. Here you can enjoy the chattering of the native tui by day and the call of the resident kiwi and
