This residence, built for a newly retired couple, embraces stunning views of Mount Te Aroha and perfectly integrates comfort with contemporary elegance. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home showcases modern architectural lines tailored for family life and built for entertaining. The exterior combines dark standing-seam metal cladding with vertical cedar, creating visual appeal without compromising simplicity. Subtle yet distinct craftsmanship is visible throughout, reflecting a commitment to quality finishes and practical detail.

Indoors, the kitchen’s classic white splashback and benchtops contrast the dark cabinetry. Two living areas provide abundant space, with generous floor-to-ceiling glazing that maximises natural light and highlights the seamless indoor-outdoor transition onto expansive decking. The careful design ensures mountain views are enjoyed from multiple vantage points. The main ensuite, a luxurious retreat, includes a bath with a picture window and grooved wall linings. Outside, the inviting pool area extends the home’s living zones. The water’s reflection of the home’s symmetrical rectangular form adds to the property’s aesthetic appeal and harmonious design. Extensive glazing truly gives this home a heart of glass, beautifully connecting its interior warmth to the stunning exterior vistas.
