Watch the waterchange colour when the sun sets

This superb piece of modern architecture sits beautifully on its lakeside section. Positioned to make the most of the site and its stunning views across Lake Rotoroa, this award winning home has location and flair. Relax in one of the two outdoor living areas, put your favourite music on through the surround sound system, watch the activity on and around the lake or gaze at the water as it changes colour when the sun sets to the west. Designed by Brian White of Edwards White Architects, and fully renovated to the highest specifications in 2008 by master builder Glen Diffey, the home has four double bedrooms, two \nliving rooms, two bathrooms, a 'hidden' large office/gym/rumpus room, a spacious separate laundry and an internal access double garage. Views flood in through floor to ceiling glass in the open plan living, dining and kitchen area, and also upstairs in a second living room and master bedroom. A floating Tasmanian oak floor gives the home a warm glow and a cedar feature wall eliminates the barrier between outside and in. The sleek, modern kitchen has Bosch stainless appliances, an induction hob and self cleaning oven. The landscaping is contemporary and easy care, and the surrounding fence ensures privacy without blocking the view. Upstairs, the deck has glass balustrades, integrated lighting and overhead louvres allowing the space to be enjoyed in all weather. It is not surprising that this central, striking home has been awarded both an architect's and a master builders' award.\n
