1 Ara o Kahuroa, Pukerua, Richmond, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman

You’re not looking for bigger, you’re looking for better thought-out. A home where the kitchen works, the light lands in the right places, and the whole layout just makes sense without you needing to change a thing. That’s exactly where 1 Ara O Kahuroa sits. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a 151sqm footprint on 543sqm of land, and a corner position that gives you more breathing room.

The living area is the kind you settle into quickly. The kitchen sits right at the centre with a long island that becomes the natural place to gather - morning coffee, kids drifting in and out, dinner prep that doesn’t cut you off from the rest of the room. Dining and lounge stretch out alongside it, with wide windows pulling in light and that open neighbourhood outlook, and a slider that takes you straight outside when the day calls for it.

The bedrooms are laid out with a bit of separation, which makes everyday living feel calmer. The main bedroom has its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, set slightly apart, while the other two sit off the hallway alongside a full bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. There’s also a laundry area, a store cupboard near the entry for the things you don’t want on display, and internal access garaging that just makes coming and going easier.

Outside, it’s all been kept simple in the right way. Lawn for kids or pets to run, tidy planting that’s already established, and a concrete patio that’s ready for outdoor dining without needing to think twice about it. Being on the corner means more light, more openness, and a home that doesn’t feel tucked in on itself.

Call Ruben Fry. This one will make sense the moment you walk through.
