Here’s an example of the magic that occurs when building excellence meets value for money. This 90sqm end-of-row terrace house showcases Universal Homes’ ability to cover both bases – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you get for your dollars. Quality is the hallmark. You’ll find top materials and an architectural design that’s been expertly styled, future-proofed and built for energy efficiency. The open-plan living includes a dining space that opens to a north-facing deck and lawn, while the living area spills onto a west-facing courtyard. The white-on-white kitchen with breakfast bar is bathed in natural light. The three bedrooms are located upstairs, with the main bedroom enjoying all-day sun. There’s also the stylish bathroom with accent tiles and a separate toilet. The laundry is tucked discreetly under the stairs. Future proofing is taken care of with technology including data cabling and keyless entry. This centrally located show home on Auckland’s North Shore is an excellent example of a design that delivers quality living in a modest footprint. It’s low-maintenance and has bags of urban style, providing a lot of house and real value.
