Shared bliss

This contemporary, sun-loving star luxuriates in natural light and space on a double section in Tauranga. It’s a home that’s built to share. The large 307sqm layout comprises four generous bedrooms, two chic bathrooms and a wonderful kitchen/dining/living room, plus extra garage space for storage or a gym. The outdoors beckon with decks and lush landscaping. Clean lines and a crisp palette lend the honed block and weatherboard exterior a striking look. Inside, a combination of honed concrete and carpet cover the floors. An energy-efficient heat pump powers underfloor heating and domestic hot water. A raking ceiling in the airy living area opens the home up to the north, creating an intimate connection with the outdoors and bathing the interior in natural light and warmth. The remaining ceilings are a generous 2.55m with 2.2m-high doors. Both combine to add volume and increase the feeling of easy flow throughout. A stunning, stylish, sunny home built to budget.
