Large, bright, sunny rooms — tick. Indoor/outdoor flow — tick. An impressive fireplace providing a focal point a family can gather beside — tick. A contemporary, airy entertainer’s kitchen — you bet. This Auckland show home is the essence of modern, free-flowing living. The 196sqm home combines contemporary design elements with timeless materials including bricks and cedar weatherboards. Inside, you’ll find a double-sided fireplace between the family and living areas, giving the large, open-plan interior (no poky rooms here), a cosy ambience and providing warmth throughout. Large sliding doors beckon to a deck, merging indoor and outdoor living while showcasing the home’s premium location. The open-plan kitchen fuses functionality and style with a separate scullery/prep area and a bifold window, allowing hosts to interact with guests on the deck while preparing meals. With its three generously sized bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms and two living areas, this meticulous home embodies the art of open-plan design. Careful consideration of functionality and flow create an exceptional living space with room for a family to breathe.
