1216a Arawa Street, Rotorua, Bay Of Plenty

Positioned above the rhythm of the CBD yet tucked into its own peaceful plane, this 258m² residence delivers a scale, light and spatial generosity rarely found in urban living. With its distinctive architectural roofline, curated interiors and beautifully framed city-to-lake views, this is a home designed for those who appreciate refinement without pretence.

A long, gallery-style hallway leads to soaring open-plan living where skylights pour sunlight across soft, neutral tones and elegant dining and lounge zones. French sliders open to an elevated terrace - your own outdoor room above the city - perfect for morning coffee, twilight drinks or watching Rotorua slow into evening. The adjoining kitchen is a minimalist white canvas with vaulted ceilings, stone surfaces, twin skylights and excellent storage.

Three beautifully proportioned bedrooms sit quietly away from the main living zone, including a serene primary suite with a generous wardrobe and an ensuite of timeless simplicity featuring a spa bath, tiled shower and warm natural light. The second bathroom continues the theme - functional, indulgent and spacious. A full laundry, excellent storage and internal-access double garage complete a layout that supports both practicality and indulgence.

Location is one of the property’s greatest luxuries. Positioned in the cultural and commercial heart of Rotorua, you are moments from Eat Streat, lakefront walks, artisan cafés, galleries, the Government Gardens and the wider thermal and recreational network the region is known for.

For buyers seeking a sophisticated lock-and-leave, a central base that still feels like a private retreat, or a home with architectural presence and enduring comfort, this residence offers an invitation into a lifestyle defined by quality and convenience.
