Henriette and Dean’s Forever Home in Masterton

20 November 2024

A Multigenerational Haven of Style and Warmth.

When Henriette and Dean embarked on their journey to design their forever home, they dreamed of a stylish, functional haven for their multigenerational family. With two young children, Abbigail and Amelia, their parents, and their beloved pups all under one roof, they teamed up with Jennian Homes Wairarapa to create a spacious, on-trend masterpiece that perfectly balances elegance and comfort.

Their vision was clear: dedicated spaces for everyone. On one side of the house, a children’s and parents’ wing; on the other, an additional master suite for extended family. The heart of the home would be communal spaces that effortlessly accommodate both everyday life and special gatherings. Essential features like a separate study, a roomy laundry, and a kitchen designed for entertaining were at the top of their wish list. Henriette and Dean worked hand-in-hand with Jennian Homes to fine-tune every detail of their floorplan, ensuring it was both practical and a true reflection of their family’s personality.

Materials and Design: Striking Details with a Welcoming Touch

The home’s striking exterior is a showstopper, seamlessly blending Rockcote, Schist pillars, and James Hardie Oblique to create a stunning contrast that truly sets it apart. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a serene neutral color palette that instantly soothes the senses. Subtle shades of gold infuse each room with a cozy warmth, perfectly complementing the sleek, contemporary black hardware and fixtures. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the carefully chosen lighting that bathes the space in a bright, airy glow, to the harmonious design elements that complete the inviting aesthetic of this family’s forever home.

A Thoughtfully Planned Layout for Family Living

The home’s layout is a masterclass in functionality and style, grouping the kids’ and parents’ bedrooms within one cozy wing. This wing also features a dedicated children’s bathroom and a spacious laundry room conveniently located just off the garage, making daily chores a breeze.

The main master bedroom is a true retreat, designed for ultimate indulgence. Imagine a walk-in wardrobe with a charming barn door and a luxurious ensuite that promises relaxation and comfort. At the opposite end of the home, the additional master wing for extended family mirrors this setup, complete with its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, ensuring both privacy and comfort for everyone.

Every inch of this home has been meticulously planned to cater to the needs of a bustling family, creating a harmonious blend of practicality and elegance. It’s a layout that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of modern family living.

Entertaining at Heart: The Perfect Kitchen

Henriette and Dean’s passion for hosting shines through in their stunning kitchen, where style meets functionality in perfect harmony. This culinary haven is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, expansive counter space, and a generous scullery, making it the ultimate hub for gatherings of all sizes. Whether it’s a cozy family dinner or a lively party with friends, this kitchen is designed to handle it all with ease and elegance. It’s a space where memories are made, laughter is shared, and every meal becomes a special occasion.

Their Experience and Advice

“Enjoy the ride! Take it all in and spend as much time as you can in the planning stage to make sure you’ve thought of all you want to incorporate and make the most of your site features. We were so happy that Jennian was flexible in allowing us to complete certain works ourselves (e.g., wardrobes, curtain rails, garage carpet, linen cupboards), which helped us get things ready for handover. The turnkey contract was a lifesaver, allowing us to meet the bank's requirements and gather the additional deposit. Our Jennian New Home consultant was exceptional throughout the process. Her personality, care for customers, and ability to listen to our needs really stood out. She made us feel like part of the Jennian family and was always there to listen. She helped keep things on track and made me feel supported. Our site supervisor also went above and beyond to help, and his team of contractors on-site were always respectful, tidy, and easy to work with. This made the process enjoyable, and we’re very pleased with the high-quality finish.”

“We truly love our new home. It was built on time, at the agreed price, and with a high standard of quality. We’re excited to move in and start enjoying the space.”
