The traditional charm of Linea board cladding forms a harmonious bond with 21st-century living in this contemporary country-style home in Te Awamutu. Boxed corners and contrasting window facings enhance the effect.

Sun-drenched and full of light, the north-facing living spaces welcome visitors with open arms and 2.7m ceilings. With over-height doorways, the home exudes a fantastic sense of space. Four bedrooms bask in the afternoon rays and benefit from correct sun orientation. Interior living flows to an alfresco room with a raked ceiling. This area connects to a patio and covered portico with exposed timber truss design and built-in barbecue. When entertaining and catering, the well-appointed designer kitchen is the place to be, with stone benchtops and a functional scullery, not to mention great flow to all living spaces. A luxury walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom is complete with shelving and drawers. The adjoining beautifully crafted ensuite offers a double-size walk-in tiled shower and his-and-hers vanities.
