Some homes are all about the house. This one is just as much about everything around it. With uninterrupted views across the wetlands to Mount Te Aroha, this architecturally designed home offers something a little out of the ordinary. Inspired by modern Japanese architecture, its striking butterfly roofline, clean lines and thoughtful design make it a home that certainly doesn't follow the crowd. Stretching an impressive 26 metres, the home has been cleverly positioned to make the most of its surroundings, with beautiful outlooks, natural light and a wonderful sense of space throughout. At the heart of the home, a designer kitchen complete with scullery takes centre stage in the spacious, high-stud open-plan living and dining area. A separate media room, easily closed off with a cavity slider, gives everyone somewhere to escape when the TV choices don't quite align. Three bedrooms include a master suite with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and direct outdoor access, while a separate study provides that all-important work-from-home space. The family bathroom, separate toilet and cleverly positioned vanity area make busy mornings that little bit easier. Outside, the setting does much of the entertaining. Relax and take in the views or step straight onto the wetlands walking track. With multiple easy-care outdoor spaces, there's plenty to enjoy without spending your weekends maintaining it all. And it's not just a pretty face. Substantial construction, full insulation, tinted toughened double glazing, two heat pumps and double internal-access garaging ensure comfort and practicality haven't been overlooked. Set on a 928m² section bordering the wetlands, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of openness and privacy, with nature providing an ever-changing backdrop. Architectural flair, an exceptional outlook and a home that's anything but ordinary. Not your everyday home. And that's exactly the point.

This is a home with personality... and plenty of it. Big on space and substance, it's the kind of place that works well for families who've outgrown squeezing into smaller living. Recently repainted on the outside with a Mediterranean-style vibe, the inside mixes some modern updates with a few of the home's original features - giving it a bit of character rather than that "everything looks the same" feel. Upstairs you'll find four proper double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master with its own ensuite. Downstairs throws in an extra shower room and separate toilet, which will come in very handy when the household is trying to get out the door at the same time. Living spaces are generous. The updated kitchen and dining area connects easily to the family room, kept cosy by a Metro wood burner, while a second lounge gives everyone somewhere to escape when the house gets a little too lively. Outside, the 971sqm section is a bit of a blank canvas - but the swimming pool is already there, so next summer is sorted. There's internal access garaging, plenty of off-street parking, and enough space for kids, pets, or that garden project you've been meaning to start. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of town, you're an easy walk to local amenities. Stanley Avenue School zoning and close proximity to Te Aroha College make life easier for families too. A solid family home with space, personality, and room to make it your own.
