Summer soirees in sought-after Sophia

Architecture and landscape work together here to provide a sensational environment for indoor-outdoor living. A north-facing aspect invites abundant sun into these spaces. As Kiwis, we tend to spend a lot of time outdoors and this home encourages just that. The private outdoor areas are special spaces for relaxing with family and friends. Being fenced at the front for privacy and screened at the rear creates a wonderful sense of seclusion and sanctuary and allows young children to roam free. A generous 275sqm footprint gives a family great scope to enjoy life in a layout comprising master bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe, two double bedrooms plus a guest room/fourth bedroom or a study, tiled family bathroom, two living areas and a kitchen supported by a butler's pantry. Rooms flow, as a family does, in day-to-day living. The effect is a large social home with ample private retreats for quiet rest and recreation. Floor to ceiling glass doors flood the interior with light and foster a feeling of well-being. The home's solid 1970s construction and stylish contemporary interior give it relevancy to today's modern family. Sitting pretty on a picturesque 900sqm section overlooking the groomed greens and fairways of Arikikapakapa Rotorua Golf Course, this well-crafted home is in a blue chip location.
