Sunlight pours in through the huge living-room window and sliders of this smart-looking family home, filling it with warmth and light. Located in one of Auckland’s newly built lifestyle townships, this 175sqm home combines the benefit of a convenient, desirable location with a contemporary, easy-living layout. At the heart of the home, the generous living and dining space benefits from raking ceilings that enhance the naturally light-filled space. The entertainer’s kitchen is positioned for the chef to look out through the living room sliders while the sun streams in. A scullery and island bench combine with premium appliances to offer a superior level of functionality. Outside, expansive dark timber decking provides a great space for outdoor dining, and looks striking against the white brick cladding. The main suite, which includes large sliders leading outdoors, has a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish fully tiled ensuite. Two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room and a separate study make this home ideal for families, or couples planning for the future.
