24 Montiicola Drive, Papamoa, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Space, proportion, and symmetry strike a harmonious balance in this delightfully stylish, contemporary family home.

A statuesque perch makes a grand first impression from the street front. Crisp whites add sophisticated elegance to the exterior, while the gradual incline from footpath to façade gives a sense of elevation.

Mediterranean inspired, encaustic tiles inject artistic flair into the entrance, but it’s the oversized custom door that’s the focal point, setting the tone for what’s inside. A heightened ceiling pitch maximises space, while the deliberate high placement of large windows opens the floodgates for natural light. Together with the light flooring and neutrally calming colour palette, they create an airy, refreshing appeal.

Anchoring the communal hub is the invitingly modern kitchen where design meets practicality. Polished, horizontal metro tiles add a textural element to the splashback, while the galley configuration and gas cooktop highlight the considered attention to premium detail. A scullery extends from here and caters a functioning arm that’s fully equipped with a sink, refrigerator, generous bench space, and ample storage capacity.

Dual lounging exists on either side of dining, defining each zone for privacy yet maintaining the connection with family. Outdoor entertaining does a double act too. Front decking boasts a picturesque outlook across the reserve opposite and, come dusk, is your front row seat to show stopping sunsets. But it’s a central patio that has you covered for any time alfresco. This enclosed nook is sheltered on either side and up top, and thanks to skylights overhead, you’ll enjoy this spot all day long, all year round.

Three light filled, sizeable bedrooms span the hallway, including the luxurious master with an ensuite and tandem walk in wardrobes. If the idea of a second income stream excites you, or your wish list includes a tailored solution for long term guests or extended family, then you’re in luck. A self contained adjoining wing with private exterior access accommodates either situation superbly.

Practicality has also been considered, with Trina solar panels helping to enhance the home’s everyday efficiency. This sought after location places you within easy reach of convenient amenities, schooling, and arterial route access, but it takes living here to fully comprehend its dreamy desirability.

Don’t let the opportunity to enjoy such an enviable existence pass you by.
