PROPERTY DETAILS:

sure there is a pleasing balance between shelter and the views as the trees matured.

Space, light and low maintenance are the features of the 240sqm four-bedroom home that took shape here.

On a first visit, the home impresses with its combination of pale brick cladding, charcoal aluminium joinery, and dark lowprofile concrete roof tiles. There’s the bonus of triple garaging, and a gabled porch to draw visitors to the front door.

Ross and Pam ensured the views from this property made an impact early.

‘‘On entering through the front door, you are immediately greeted with views through the living area out over the garden, finishing with a rural landscape.’’

The views continue to impress on a tour through the house.

‘‘The home is built with the living area north-facing with a 180-degree field of view. From the lounge and one bedroom on the east side of the home, we look to the south-east over to the Showgrounds and towards the town centre.

‘‘Rooms facing north - the lounge, dining area, kitchen, family area and master bedroom - all have a rural outlook over the circular lawn and gardens, which are on a lower level. The view from the dining area and lounge have extended views around to the north-west, which is dominated by the ever-changing moods of Mt Taranaki.’’

The home gives them a relaxed, warm, and comfortable lifestyle. ‘‘Our favourite part of the property is the large outdoor entertainment area opening off the lounge, dining/kitchen and the master bedroom. It is great for sitting and relaxing in the sun and enjoying barbecues with family and friends.

‘‘A second smaller entertainment area off the laundry can be a very sheltered little suntrap - a great place for that morning coffee.’’

The advantages of modern construction guarantee warmth and comfort here. There’s full insulation, double-glazed and tinted window joinery, heat-pump efficiency, a DVS ventilation system, and a bespoke electric heater in the lounge.

New owners will find it easy to settle in here.

‘‘The interior is finished in a neutral palette. Floor coverings are quality carpet throughout with ceramic tiles in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry.
