Contemporary meets relaxed family living

• Madrid brick and Linea cladding – elegant and low maintenance with street presence
• Contemporary feel with Scandinavian-look wood floors – this home has real character
• Expansive living/entertaining space – made for family and social
• Second lounge that opens to main living – relaxed and flexible living
• Elegant features/finishes – a casual/luxurious ambience throughout
• Designer kitchen with large scullery – a chef's/busy parent's delight
• Two-car, full insulated garage – doubling as a hang out space

Combining contemporary style with functional modern family living creates the ideal space for an easy and relaxed lifestyle – this GJ Gardner Taranaki showhome does just that.

Beginning with the exterior, this solidly built home oozes charm and personality, with clean-lined bricks, stria cladding and a quality Milano tile gabled roof.

Inside the solid front door, with advanced security locking, you step into the light-filled family, dining and kitchen space. The attractive gabled roof on the outside of the home translates into soaring ceiling heights on the interiors, accentuated in this area by feature pendant lighting. 

The contemporary home has a light, airy Scandinavian feel, in part due to the expansive use of warm and quiet pale cork floors – the separate lounge and four bedrooms feature lush, durable carpet.

In a house that offers great family and entertaining options, the lounge can be open or closed off to the main entertainment space.

The sleek, modern entertainer's kitchen is at the heart of the home and boasts dark, minimalist cabinetry with contrasting marble look stone benchtops and splashback. A generous walk in scullery provides additional storage and workspace to the kitchen, which is fitted with the latest Fisher & Paykel appliances. The kitchen looks out to the open plan family room and dining space and has easy access to the sheltered, private outdoor living area at the rear of the home.

The showhome is well-appointed and this extends to the home's bathrooms. These are clean-lined and modern, featuring fully tiled showers in both bathrooms and a double vanity in the master ensuite. The main bathroom is spacious and has a separate toilet, with hand basin.

A hallway separates three of the four spacious bedrooms from the living spaces, while the master suite is set at a rear corner of the home for added privacy.

To complete the picture of family-friendly convenience, the double garage is fully insulated, including the garage door, and features all weather carpet, giving this space double functionality as a garage or additional hangout spot.

Modern, stylish and relaxed family living is prioritised throughout this GJ Gardner showhome, and can be reflected or customised throughout GJ Gardner’s range of designs and custom house plans to fit your personal preferences.

Located at 5 Atutahi St, Hurdon, New Plymouth, this showhome is open from 1pm to 4pm every day. For more details, you can phone the Taranaki team on (06) 769 6512, or to see more images or explore more GJ Gardner showhomes and designs head online here.
