There are houses you come home to, and then there are houses that make you feel like you've escaped somewhere altogether.
Tucked quietly into a cul-de-sac just off Percy Road, one road back from the beach, this beautifully crafted ZB Homes residence has that rare combination of easy living and a little bit of magic.
Built in 2021, it is light, warm and beautifully understated, with a relaxed coastal feel that feels completely at home in its surroundings. And with beach access directly from the back fence, you could be forgiven for feeling as though your holidays have quietly become permanent.
Inside, the home is beautifully considered without trying too hard. The kitchen and dining area rises beneath high pitched ceilings, creating a wonderful sense of volume and light, while the walk-in pantry keeps everything beautifully organised behind the scenes.
Then there is the kwila deck.
Bathed in sunshine and surrounded by tropical planting, it is the kind of outdoor space that quietly takes over your life. Coffee stretches into lunch. Lunch becomes afternoon drinks. And suddenly you're wondering why you ever made plans elsewhere.
The living area is separated from the bedroom wing by a beautiful barn door, giving the home flexibility and a sense of privacy while retaining that lovely connection through the main living spaces. The bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, with the whole home striking a lovely balance between style, comfort and practicality.
There is a single garage plus additional off street parking, and being a modern, easy care home, there is far more time for enjoying it than maintaining it.
Life around here has a pretty good rhythm to it.
The beach is wonderfully close, Sunday mornings can involve a casual wander around the local market for something delicious, and when summer rolls around, dinner can be taken care of rather nicely too. Dinner in the Domain takes place at the nearby Papamoa Pony Club, bringing food trucks and a relaxed summer atmosphere right into the neighbourhood.
Add in the cafes, Papamoa Plaza and easy access to the arterial routes, and everyday life here feels remarkably well catered for.
This is a home that will appeal in all sorts of directions. First home buyers looking for something special, professionals wanting an easy lifestyle, downsizers who aren't ready to give up outdoor living, investors looking for a quality modern property, or simply anyone who thinks life should involve a little more sunshine.
Well built. Beautifully positioned. Exceptionally easy to live in.
And perhaps that is the real appeal. Nothing here feels complicated. It just feels good.
