This award-winning country home in Paerata exudes charm while offering every modern comfort. Situated on a spacious rural property in South Auckland, the home’s expansive design mirrors the vast landscape. With four bedrooms, each featuring its own ensuite, the house is perfect for accommodating a large family and their guests. A striking double fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, which is bathed in natural light and boasts a soaring stud with exposed rafters. The country-style kitchen seamlessly flows through one of four elegant arches into a spacious scullery.
The home is filled with unique touches, including hidden doors, an attic space, and a walk-in wardrobe that feels like a private retreat. The exterior, clad in a blend of brick, larch, and rock, combines timeless charm with modern sophistication, creating a sense of both permanence and newness as soon as you step inside. Tucked away in a serene rural setting, yet still within easy reach of the city, this home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, making it the ultimate retreat for the clients.
