Versatile Hawke’s Bay’s Te Anau show home is built for entertaining. A portico leads into a breezy open-plan dining and living area that flows into a Scandinavian-style kitchen with LED lighting under the cupboards. It also has a spacious butler’s pantry. From the open-plan space, open the stacking doors and walk straight onto a large deck, positioned for all-day sun. The main bedroom also opens onto this deck, making it a perfect spot for a morning coffee. There’s plenty of space for entertaining and a barbecue.

With three bedrooms and a study nook, this home is designed for a growing family. Two bathrooms, a separate toilet and a big laundry make modern living easy. The colour scheme and stylish flooring choices give the interior a warm and welcoming feel. A duck-egg blue main bedroom has an ensuite with tiles chosen to complement the soothing shade. The contrast with the dark floor tiles is consistent with the main bathroom. Skylights encourage natural light, and the raked ceiling engenders a feeling of space.
