Rotorua Lakes Property

When first impressions count, this home makes a serious statement. Sitting on the outskirts of Rotorua - this home has a beautiful, elevated outlook to the city & lake. From the road, the house introduces a two-level design, gabled roof pitches & board & batten construction. Built cleverly to the site's gentle slope, the house hides a basement level on its garden side -a feature which increases the space and storage throughout the property. Inside, the house highlights a love of timber - a mix of timber joinery infusing a natural touch, while polished flooring in the family hub adds richness to the dcor's texture & tone. Custom timber vanities in all three bathrooms. There's one other feature that will delight book lovers. This home has its own library - a cosy snug with walls lined with floor-to-ceiling shelves. A masterful blend of tradition and contemporary finish - defined spaces inside & out providing various areas to entertain, relax & retreat in private. The main hub revolves around a gourmet kitchen. This is centre stage - formal dining, large enough for a dinner setting for 10 or more on one side, with bar-stool seating on the other in a charming family lounge with an inbuilt gas-fire feature. All these areas spill outside to a pergola deck - spacious with alfresco dining & room for couches snuggling around an outdoor fire & barbecue corner. At the other end, the balcony stretches to another corner to provide outdoor flow from the formal lounge - yet another inbuilt gas-fire feature instilling a different mood to this room. And if that's not enough living room space, there is a third lounge on the upper level with large picture windows opening up to capture the view to the city and lake. The final surprise however, tucks neatly behind bi-fold doors - a studio, complete with a sink for tea & coffee - a private haven to contemplate & create. Also private is the ensuite master - set in its own wing, with a private balcony to admire the views. It's spacious, sunny, warm & inviting.
