12 Hazelnut Way, Otumoetai, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

Occupying an elevated 928 sqm (more or less) landscaped section with supreme Kaimai Ranges vistas this magnificent architecturally designed residence sits on a tiny, exclusive cul-de-sac. The secluded north oriented property has all the attributes for a growing family with the pitched roof 250 sqm (approx.) home featuring some honed concrete block cladding and lofty profile angled for maximum sun.

An exciting interior decor harnesses bold colours, dreamy drapes, timber shutters and near new carpet with spatially generous zones maximising the view. A tiled entrance foyer connects to both a nearby separate media lounge and the upper-level open plan living area with high stud ceilings, ample glazing, and skylights delivering copious natural light. The aubergine toned kitchen is a sizable culinary hub featuring a swag of storage, stainless steel appliances with gas hob, and island bench facing the social action. A heat pump warms dining and lounge while banks of stackers connect to an uber sunny patio with freestanding louvred pergola perfect for barbecue parties and spa. A front deck awaits wine or beer o'clock, basking in the last rays before the sun sinks below the horizon. A penthouse mezzanine floor gets the best vistas and could be a home office or third lounge. Four double bedrooms share three tiled bathrooms and powder room with the substantial master bedroom having walk-in wardrobe and large ensuite. The ground floor also has a heat pump and comprises fourth bedroom with bathroom and separate laundry.

An internal access double garage is a biggie with lots of extra storage while the garden shed, and equipment cupboard expand multiple storage solutions. Huge lawns could fit a pool and will be a hit with the kids while there's tons of parking for boat and campervan. Close to community amenities and walking distance to excellent schooling the fully fenced property is also handy for Brookfield shops.
