Modern Times.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Hawke’s Bay, this 202m² home embodies modern living. This single-storey home combines stylish aesthetics with practical functionality, creating an inviting space.

Exterior Design

Large windows allow natural light to fill the living areas while connecting to the outdoors. Clean lines and minimalist design create a bold silhouette that complements the landscape.

Upon entering, you find a spacious open-plan area at the heart of the home. Polished concrete floors provide a sleek foundation paired with rich timber feature walls. High ceilings enhance the sense of space, and strategically placed windows flood the interior with light. The kitchen serves as a centerpiece, featuring a curved island and black cabinetry that blend style and function. State-of-the-art appliances are integrated into the design, while an indoor bar connects seamlessly with the dining area, ideal for entertaining.
