37 Forstera Way, Papamoa Beach, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty, 3118, New Zealand

In arguably the Bay’s most desirable suburb where palm trees sway in warm summer breezes, this contemporary five-bedroom home has been designed by a veteran builder. Meticulous attention to detail begins with the clean lines that give it a sleek street appeal, continues with a clever lay out, and is completed by high-end fixtures and materials.

 

The double-door entrance, framed by stacked windows, offers the first hint of a focus on aesthetics and the intention to flood its expansive spaces with natural light. The guest bedroom could make an ideal home office, while the open plan living and kitchen area seamlessly extends to a covered patio. At the heart of it all is the three-metre Caesarstone kitchen bench, perfect for chatting with guests while overlooking the pool. In the evening, retreat to the cozy family lounge to relax.

 

Upstairs, the master suite has views from Pāpāmoa Hills to Mauao and of the waterway reserve running behind the house. Three more large bedrooms ensure no one is short-changed with use of a huge main bathroom and separate toilet.
