New GJ Gardner Homes show home

Laid-back living has become the order of the day for new home owners. We all want a house that virtually looks after itself while we walk through spacious living areas, pause to pour a coffee in the kitchen and wander out to the large alfresco deck.

It is exactly this sort of lifestyle that GJ Gardner Homes caters to, and this new Havelock North show home is a perfect example. Starting with the exterior, it is a case study for low-maintenance construction. The walls are clad in the Graphex insulated plaster cavity system, while the roof is LongRun roofing. Stained cedar weatherboards feature on the exterior and front entrance, helping to soften the overall look. These materials and the extensive insulation keep the interior dry and comfortable all year round.

Designed especially for entertaining, the GJ Gardner Homes show home has an open-plan living area that flows out to an alfresco terrace that's large enough to accommodate outdoor furniture and even a complete outdoor kitchen if desired.

The generous 225m² floor area offers four bedrooms, or three plus a study. The master has a large ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and underfloor heating. The main bathroom is also very spacious. Double garaging and new landscaping complete the picture.
