In this house, the lines between indoors and out have been blurred beautifully. The kitchen, dining and living areas open to decks on both sides of the 255sqm home. On one side there’s a patio with a spa pool; on the other, a portico with everything needed for alfresco dining and relaxing. It’s seamless. This is Gearey Homes’ second build for the owners, who are now empty nesters. They wanted open-plan living and indoor-outdoor flow radiating from a large kitchen. These spaces are beautifully presented with herringbone flooring, and are designed for entertaining. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms make this house ideal for visiting friends and family. You’ll also find a media lounge behind barn-style doors. This house is warm, too. With a ducted heat pump, air-conditioning and gas fire, temperatures are constant and comfortable. The clients enjoy travelling and wanted a place they could lock up and leave. What could be more easy-care than hardwood decking, and plaster and stained timber cladding with cavity systems? The building team is rightly proud of the quality and workmanship throughout the Hawke’s Bay residence, which provides the owners everything they need.
