12a Baring Terrace, Strandon, New Plymouth, Taranaki

This stunning home, built over three levels and accessed by way of stairs and lift, is the epitome of elegance + style + luxury living. In collaboration from the vendors and award-winning architect Murali Bhaskar from Boon a "Star Was Born".

An uncompromising approach to the design has resulted in a home that is resplendently modern and inherently functional. Cutting-edge technology solutions to lavish kitchen, luxurious open plan living, well-proportioned bedrooms and uncompromising quality bathrooms, no detail was overlooked. An abundance of natural light amplifies the sense of space, while stacking doors open the fluid living areas to the north exterior, creating seamless continuity between inside and outside.

The house is designed to be naturally warm by the provision of high-tech heating and cooling systems. They include hydronic under-floor water heating that allows each bedroom to be individually monitored and controlled for comfort, and a ventilation system for the home that recovers heat from expelled air to warm incoming fresh air, and which can be reversed in summer to keep the rooms cooler. Lighting is equally well-controlled with KNX technology, sensors, and phone apps however there are physical light switches throughout the home. The bedroom lights auto dim from evening to morning, so they are not too bright when you wake up.

There's a lot of love and fun to be had here, drawn by the close-proximity to the walkway, central New Plymouth, schools and nearby amenities. Real estate of this calibre and location is rare.

Words cannot truly capture the essence of this lovely home and its picture perfect position.
