Designed to serve the needs of a family of four, this Tauranga home delivers all the space, peace and freedom a semi-rural life affords. The 266sqm layout shows thoughtful planning and consideration. Ample glazing offers sunny living spaces and ocean peeks.

The children’s lounge opens via a large sliding door to their outdoor swing and into the main entertaining area with cavity sliders. A soundproofed media room sits to one side. Four spacious bedrooms are fitted with built-in wardrobe and drawer systems, and enjoy northwesterly sun and views.

Effortless flow between interior rooms and alfresco living zones is optimised with stacking sliders on three walls of the open plan area. Outdoor spaces are integrated into the body and roofline of the lounge, offering respite from the elements.

Soundproofing, double glazing and upgraded insulation ensure a peaceful, comfortable home. Polished concrete floors provide an all-day heat sink. Pre-piped underfloor heating and provision for a heat-transfer system keep future upgrades in mind.
