If you like the thought of a home with views from every room, where the birdlife becomes the foreground to the views out over the Waikareao Estuary, you should take the time to visit 15 Stratford Place, Otumoetai.\n\nBuilt in 2010, this contemporary home was designed to take full advantage of the sun and the peaceful surroundings of the 1,247m2 site, with the Daisy Hardwick walkway, and the bush lined harbour reserve as your southern neighbour.\n\nWith the use of Cedar and Concrete blocks, the home fits well with the natural setting. Inside you will find three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office and a generous living area with a semi dividing wall where the woodburner is located, this separates the kitchen/dining from the lounge area.\n\nThe design has sloping ceilings with high glazing to the North; this attracts the sun into the home throughout the day.\n\nLarge double glazed windows were the natural choice here, these not only enhance the view, but they help make the outdoor patio/BBQ area feel as though it's another room, and just part of the home. This area is sheltered from most winds, and still enjoys sun for most of the day.\n
