296 Old West Road, Turitea, Palmerston North

There are homes that impress, and then there are homes that quietly set a new standard. Positioned on an expansive 2,404m2 (more or less) section within a peaceful rural setting in sought-after Fitzherbert, 51 Coutts Way presents a refined blend of architectural presence, generous proportions, and considered design. Built in 2018 and spanning 317m2 (more or less), the home unfolds with a sense of ease and sophistication, where every space has been carefully composed to enhance both function and experience. At its heart, the kitchen is both statement and sanctuary, anchored by expansive stone bench tops, quality appliances including an induction hob and electric wall oven, and a substantial scullery that discreetly accommodates the demands of daily living. The open plan dining and main living area is elevated by a striking raked ceiling, where full-height glazing captures natural light and frames the surrounding outlook, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Multiple living areas enhance the sense of scale and versatility, offering beautifully balanced zones for both entertaining and retreat. Year-round comfort is assured with underfloor heating, a gas fire, heat pump, full insulation, and an integrated sound system that subtly complements the home's atmosphere. The master suite offers a private haven, complete with a generous walk-in wardrobe, an elegantly appointed ensuite, and direct access outdoors. Two bedrooms, a large laundry, guest toilet, and a cleverly concealed storage room hidden behind a bookshelf complete the ground floor. Upstairs, a further two bedrooms plus an office or small bedroom, and a refined family bathroom provide exceptional flexibility for families or guests. Outdoors, the home continues to impress with multiple alfresco spaces designed for relaxed living and effortless entertaining. A sun-soaked deck, dedicated BBQ area, and landscaped grounds create a private, tranquil environment framed by established greenery. Zoned for quality schooling and conveniently located near Summerhill Shopping Centre, Massey University, the Esplanade, river walkways, and the city centre, this address delivers both lifestyle and accessibility in equal measure.
