The Vibrant Retreat

Imagine a home that captures the essence of Zen yet pops with vibrant pizazz. An utterly deceptive street front façade gives little away, but step inside, and this one of a kind property is a cornucopia, brimming with pleasant surprises. The sense of intrigue begins on arrival, where a Balinese-inspired water feature sets a tranquil tone. Cleverly designed to be driven over when required, it also provides the flexibility for additional parking, offering a first glimpse at the considered individuality found throughout. The interior makes a bold statement of personality, featuring accent wallpapers offset by striking rich hues. Touches of retro weave their way through the home, adding a playful nod to eras past and working effortlessly alongside the more contemporary elements. The central hub is a welcoming arena for daily gatherings and a home clearly built with hosting in mind. Lounging exudes comfort, while the kitchen takes the stage. A custom, self shot panorama of the Papamoa coastline runs along the splashback, adding a personalised touch that's sure to be a talking point. Functional configuration, finger pull cabinetry, and ample bench space promise full functionality, but it's the connection to a second external breakfast bar that truly signals this home's entertaining credentials. Extending effortlessly from inside, the outdoor living zone hits a high note, and it's likely you'll spend a great deal of time here. Generous proportions grant capacity for both dining and reclining, whether it's convening around the barbecue, kicking back by the fire, or settling in with friends long after dinner is done. Thanks to the conservatory-style enclosure, it's completely sheltered from the elements, allowing entertaining to continue whatever the weather, while the connection to the lovingly tended surrounds remains uninterrupted. Beyond, a spacious rear yard unfolds amongst layers of established planting, creating a lush and wonderfully private backdrop. Balinese-inspired greenery and water features elevate serenity to tip-top level, while an above-ground pool is the cherry on top for long summer days and balmy evenings at home. This is outdoor living with atmosphere in spades; designed for gathering, unwinding and making the most of every season. Three large bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the home, including the master with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Private access from the master leads directly to the spa, creating a secluded retreat and another thoughtful layer to the home's relaxed way of life. Boasting an elevated perch, this desirable location positions you within close range of nearby walkways and reserves, plus it's just a short drive to local amenities, schooling and arterial routes. Excellent off-street parking further enhances the practicality, with ample room to accommodate family, friends and the inevitable extra cars when entertaining. If you're looking for a unique property, a tranquil escape, a home built for hosting, or all of the above, this one takes the cake.
