Two Homes in One: Stylish Living with a Studio

Welcome to 4 Herring Place, Omokoroa.
Two homes in one: a stylish, modern family home with its own private studio, elevated to capture views over the Kaimai Ranges.

Built by GJ Gardner just five years ago, this home has a modern coastal look and real street appeal. The dark weatherboard exterior with crisp white trim around the windows and doors is a classic style that won’t date anytime soon. Inside it is light, airy and easy to live in, with the flexibility to suit your household, today and as life changes.

THE MAIN HOME
The kitchen is the heart of the home, with stone bench tops, quality appliances and a butler’s pantry that makes entertaining easy. It opens to the dining and living area, where gabled ceilings create a lovely sense of space and ducted air conditioning keeps everything comfortable all year round, whatever the season.

Just off the living area, a separate lounge perfect for a social get-together or closed off for a cosy movie night, so the whole family has room to spread out. A generous study near the front entrance is perfect for working from home, running a small business or homework.

The master suite is positioned to catch the afternoon sun and opens onto the deck, with a walk-in robe and a designer ensuite. A second double bedroom and the family bathroom sit away from the main living areas, giving everyone a little extra privacy.

INDOORS TO OUT
The living area flows seamlessly onto covered decking and out to the landscaped gardens. They are established and easy care, so your weekends can be spent enjoying the place rather than maintaining it. Picture a BBQ as the sun goes down, or morning coffee in the sun, with the sunset over the Kaimai Ranges as your backdrop. The 625sqm (approx.) more or less section gives you space to enjoy without the workload.

THE STUDIO
This is where it gets interesting. The self-contained studio has its own entrance, its own decking and its own carpark, so it feels like a separate space rather than an add-on. Inside is an open-plan bedroom, lounge and kitchenette, plus a modern bathroom, so there is nothing to share and nothing missing. Private access means everyone’s comings and goings stay private.

It is a ready-made solution for extended family, a teenager wanting independence, or a flatmate helping with the mortgage. Whether you need space for parents, a place for a growing family member to find their feet, or a private spot for visitors, the studio gives you options that few homes in Omokoroa can offer.

PRACTICAL EXTRAS
The garage is insulated, carpeted and lined with plywood, so it works as a workshop or gym as well as parking. There is easy access attic storage for those once-a-year items, with more storage thoughtfully placed throughout the home.

LOCATION
You are minutes from SH2 and opposite the proposed town centre, with Omokoroa’s shops, beach and boat ramp a short drive away. The golf course, coastal walks and cycleways are close by, along with medical facilities and a supermarket, so everything you need is on your doorstep, with the village feel and Bay of Plenty lifestyle that make Omokoroa so popular.
