15D Omarunui Road, Taradale, Napier, Hawke's Bay

Set on an elevated site that makes the most of its outlook, this home has been designed so the view is never far from sight.

There is an ease to the way this home connects with its surroundings. Vaulted ceilings and generous glazing create a strong sense of space, while living areas open naturally to the decking and outdoor entertaining spaces. Whether enjoying a quiet morning, luxuriating in the spa or gathering with family and friends, the home feels connected to the landscape that surrounds it.

The kitchen and dining area form the heart of daily living, while a separate lounge, complete with a wood burner, offers a place to retreat at the end of the day. Thoughtfully arranged for both everyday comfort and entertaining, each space has been positioned to make the most of the home's setting.

The bedroom wing offers the master suite with its own private setting and doors that open to the outdoors, a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. Two further double bedrooms sit alongside the family bathroom and separate WC.

Practicality has been considered without interrupting the flow of the home. The double integral garage incorporates the laundry, while a separate studio creates a space with a completely different purpose, whether used for work, creative pursuits or simply somewhere to escape to.

Beyond the home, the grounds have an easy, established feel, with enough space to enjoy the privacy and freedom of a lifestyle setting without demanding constant attention. Raised vegetable gardens, avocado, fig and feijoa trees are already woven into the garden, bringing a productive element to the landscape and adding to the sense that this is a property designed to be lived in and enjoyed.

Offering a balance of comfort, privacy and connection to its surroundings, this is a property where the pace of life feels just that little bit different.
