Tauranga City's Best Kept Secret...
Tauranga City's Best Kept Secret...
Elegant and unique. Within five minutes of leaving my office in the CBD I was sitting in what reminded me of my boyhood dream of living in the treetops. This contemporary home by award winning architectural designer, Brendon Gordon, epitomizes innovative, clever design, nestled amongst over half an acre (2364m2) of New Zealand native bush. This one level, exclusive four bedroom home of 289m2 takes advantage of a natural clearing allowing light to burst through the flora from all angles, shining and reflecting "fifty shades of green". The illusion that you are floating amongst the trees is created by smart design elevation, extensive use of massive glass sliders, soaring and clerestory windows and sweeping timber decking that brings the inner spaces out.
This beautiful home is so sheltered from wind and traffic noise and serenaded by abundant bird life, that one has to keep reminding themselves that they are only minutes from the CBD with it's cafes, restaurants, theaters and shopping. After a hard day at work coming home to this oasis must be an absolute pleasure. No long drives and yet total seclusion, total peace and total privacy. Not only will you not be disturbed here but there is little fear of you disturbing anybody else, so you can wind up the music, pour a wine, and just relax in your own natural, park like environment. The biggest problem will be to tear yourself away for work the next day !
Brendon Gordon has done an amazing job designing an articulate home that is at one with its superb position, has created a space that takes full advantage of natural light, a beautiful environment, and provided interesting outdoor entertaining areas that follow the day either for sun or shade. Long lasting, high quality materials have been used in the construction, and the creative finishing is in keeping with the total, high end package.
Please look at the photos, however this home needs to be viewed for you to fully appreciate its ambience, hidden secrets and a realistic price!
