There’s no question that this gorgeous pavilion-style home was designed with entertaining in mind. Set on a long, north-facing section, the 306sqm residence features multiple outdoor areas in which to relax, either in the shade or sunshine. Indoor-outdoor flow abounds, with a spacious designer kitchen that leads through sliding doors out to a covered deck complete with a large fireplace. Inside, numerous skylights, a pitched central living-room ceiling and an extra-wide entrance hall create a luxurious sense of space the moment you step inside. Meanwhile, changing stud heights, different flooring selections and the varied use of textures on feature walls allow this four-bedroom home to showcase a number of beautifully complementary products. The built-in fireplace in the main living area ensures the house stays toasty during those chilly Hawke’s Bay winters. From the outside, the black-and-white scheme is complemented by vertical cedar shiplap. Decorative chimney caps add a stylish touch to the roof. This is sophisticated Hawke’s Bay living at its best.
