The uncomplicated layout of this three year old home maximises all available space within its compact 119m2 footprint to provide a stylish home that is not only striking in looks but highly functional in design. The open plan aesthetic of the living space provides a strong connection to the outdoors where a huge slider and adjacent French door link the living and kitchen to the sun kissed outdoor entertaining area giving an immediate sense of spaciousness. Two double bedrooms are set at opposite ends to offer separation with a stunning bathroom shared between the two with the bonus of two loos. A bold monochrome palette provides a dramatic backdrop, accentuating furnishings and providing contrast to the sealed concrete floors throughout. Outside the 900m2 grounds have been an absolute labour of love, where time not spent on maintaining the low maintenance coloursteel exterior of the home has been lavished upon the extraordinary gardens. The land was once a tennis court to the now neighbouring villa and the establishment nestles the home into the site providing a sense of restfulness in an urban setting. A standalone garage with attached carport and generous vehicle bay provides excellent off street parking while the sought after 'hill' location offers superb convenience to the boutique shops and cafes along Waipawa's main street.
