Sunshine, clean lines and space to relax are all hallmarks of this award-winning home in Feilding. Designed and built by Fowler Homes, the home won the Placemakers New Homes $250,000 – $350,000 Gold and Local Category Awards for the Manawatu-Wanganui region. The house features large glass sliders that run the length of the open-plan living area, connecting to a large outdoor entertaining terrace. Polished concrete floors enhance the modern, semiindustrial feel of the living area, which includes a study nook. A concrete tiled splashback that extends to the ceiling, a stainless steel perimeter benchtop and shroud over the rangehood, and a scullery are key features of the kitchen. The architectural design separates the master suite from the other two bedrooms, effectively creating a purposebuilt guest wing. This has its own bathroom with a fully tiled walk-in shower. In the master suite there is an ensuite bathroom with a luxurious bathtub and wallhung vanity. With oversized sliders opening up to the patio, this suite is a private retreat for the owners.
