Recently completed, architecturally designed Layton Homes build, this contemporary residence occupies an approx. 2,536m² allotment a few minutes from central Gisborne. The construction combines Manhattan-style red brick, bluestone, architectural cladding, concrete and timber, selected for durability, low maintenance, and thermal performance. The home backs onto a bush setting with Stephens Creek beyond the lawn, providing a clear visual and environmental buffer from neighbouring properties.

The upper level is planned around outlook and functionality. Extensive glazing captures treetop views and natural light. The main suite includes a fitted walk-in robe, twin-shower ensuite, adjoining lounge and a dedicated home office. Three additional bedrooms all include built-in robes and are serviced by a central family bathroom and separate WC. Both bathrooms feature underfloor heating, heated towel rails, heat lamps and LED/demister mirrors, designed for consistent comfort and reduced condensation.

The ground floor centres on a sunken living and dining zone with a 3.1m raised ceiling and full-height glazing. This space connects directly to an alfresco area with a Heatmaster A900 open fireplace, enabling year-round use. Five Velux skylights to the entry and living areas increase natural light penetration and reduce reliance on artificial lighting during the day.

The kitchen and butler’s pantry are specified to a high standard with an integrated AEG appliance package, including dual ovens, SteamPro compact oven, PrecisionVac vacuum drawer, induction cooktop with FlexiBridge, and Hob2Hood rangehood. The butler’s pantry incorporates an integrated AEG dishwasher, matte black Blanco sink with Insinkerator, motion-activated tap and extensive storage. Concrete-stone benchtops are used in the main kitchen, and white stone surfaces feature through the pantry and wet areas for durability and ease of cleaning. A concealed coffee station is integrated behind timber-clad cabinetry.

Climate control and efficiency have been prioritised.
