A significant extension and a brilliant renovation by Kuriger Builders have transformed this five-bedroom 1998 Tauranga home into an impressive retreat. An AAC panel plaster system replaced the polystyrene plaster, while Abodo cladding and Hinuera natural stone was used on the feature chimney and walls. Roof tiles that match the existing ones ensured cohesion with the extended roof lines while large parapets make for a dramatic entrance. The large family-wing extension includes five bedrooms, four ensuites and a kids’ loft, plus laundry. Elsewhere, the home now boasts a rumpus, office and two bedrooms including guest room with ensuite, a bathroom and powder room plus the extensive panelled hallways and new portico entry.
In the spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace keeps things cosy. But the focal point is a stylish brass-inlaid bar with granite top and splashback. This inviting family hub opens to a Louvretec-covered outdoor living space with a woodfire. It also links to the formal dining room through wrought-iron glazed sliding doors. The striking kitchen features a reeded-glass screen and sliding door that divides the room, which links to the outdoor barbecue kitchen area. With its original character intact, this is now a luxurious modern home.
