29 Tamihana Avenue, Pyes Pa, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

This stunning Venture Homes build rolls in dressed in a striking black and white colour palette that basically says, “Yes, I look this good every day.” It’s sharp, stylish and just the right amount of show-off without being obnoxious

about it. But don’t be fooled, this place isn’t just a pretty face. It’s been designed for families who understand that life isn’t meant to be rushed… it’s meant to be enjoyed. The indoor-outdoor living here absolutely nails the brief. Picture yourself out on the deck, beverage of choice in one hand, remote for the outdoor blind in the other. With the push of a button the sunshine behaves itself, the glare disappears and suddenly you can read your book… or pretend to read your book while quietly enjoying five minutes of peace. This is where work-life balance actually turns up and does its job. Then when the mood shifts from relaxing to entertaining, things get even better. Fire up the pizza oven, send out the group text and suddenly you’re hosting the best house-warming in town. Toppings everywhere, kids running around, mates arguing

about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. It’s chaotic in the best possible way. And yes… after all that pizza you might feel the need to burn off a carb or two. Good news. The Lakes area has you covered. Jump on the bike or lace up the sneakers and explore the network of walking and biking tracks winding through this awesome community. Fresh air, open space and just enough exercise to justify another slice later. And if retail therapy becomes medically necessary, Tauranga Crossing is right nearby. Pack n Save, cinemas, cafes and all the big retail stores are practically waving at you from down the road. So not only is this home seriously good looking, it absolutely understands the assignment when it comes to lifestyle. Stylish. Social. And built for real life.
