Millwater is an ideal place to raise children nestled by the sea, close to estuaries, parks and new schools, and only 35 minutes from Auckland.

Sentinel Homes has designed and crafted many high-quality homes in the area such as this four bedroom, two bathroom showhome with internal garage. The contemporary home combines wow factors with a practical layout, says sales manager Philip Pilkington.

"The home has a high stud and impressive vaulted ceilings in the generous entry foyer and main lounge," says Pilkington. "It's also laid out for a relatively quiet life, with bedrooms to the left and public spaces to the right as you enter."

Open to the living spaces, the well-appointed kitchen boasts wood finishes and a spacious walk-in pantry. The kitchen overlooks the two living spaces, dining and well-designed al fresco area. With the retraction of the cavity sliders, this combines with the living areas to create a large communal space.
