Clad in a contemporary combination of brick, cedar and steel, this home north of Paeroa exudes understated style and class. Concealed stacker sliders open the light-filled living spaces to stunning views and a superb alfresco area with 10m in-ground pool. Complete with brick outdoor fireplace, full outdoor kitchen with six-burner barbecue, sink, bar fridge and pizza oven, this space was made for entertaining. The interior styling is perfectly in tune with laidback yet luxurious living. Elements of cedar soften the effect of white brick and concrete. A double-sided gas fireplace, spacious scullery and raking ceilings that rise to 3.6m are fantastic features of the warm, light and spacious open-plan domain. Rural views add a touch of rustic romance. At 400sqm, there’s no shortage of space in this four-bedroom home planned by Diana Blake Design. The beautifully detailed build includes a master suite with walk-in robe, dressing area and fully tiled ensuite. A family bathroom, office, gym, laundry and triple garaging round out a very desirable package.
