Latitude Homes Taupō & Rotorua is preparing for the launch of its latest show home at Richmond Terrace and with three house and land packages available in this prime development, prospective homeowners have the perfect opportunity to explore innovative designs and tailored options to suit their needs. Scheduled for completion in July, the new show home features Latitude Homes’ popular Hunua design. This 214sqm, two-storey residence blends practicality with modern elegance. Latitude Homes Taupō & Rotorua licensee owner Shaun Sullivan says the home is designed to showcase the diverse range of specifications Latitude Homes offers. “This home features three bathrooms. One is a basic specification, one is slightly upgraded, and the other is a fully tiled luxury wetroom,” he says. “We’ve used a level five paint finish downstairs and a level four paint finish upstairs so people can see the difference. They can come in and get an idea of what they want to spend, and see that we can do, which helps them to make an informed decision when building.” The Hunua design is characterised by striking lines and feature corner windows that provide a commanding presence. The downstairs layout includes a spacious kitchen and dining area separated from the lounge by a half-wall, ensuring a blend of privacy and openness. A paved outdoor entertainment space, accessible from both the lounge and a downstairs bedroom, offers a private retreat for guests or independent teenagers. Upstairs, the master suite boasts an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, alongside a study nook, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. A standout feature of the Richmond Terrace location is the breathtaking view of Lake Taupō, visible from the top floor. “With sections nationwide getting smaller, achieving a 217sqm home on a single level becomes difficult. That’s why we’re incorporating a well-designed two-story layout with an automated louvre roof over the outdoor entertainment area.” Situated in the sought-after suburb of Richmond Heights, the Richmond Terrace subdivision offers an exciting opportunity for homeowners and investors. The development’s design prioritises safety and aesthetics, featuring one-way streets that slow traffic making Richmond Terrace ideal for young families. BUILDING Latitude Homes Taupō & Rotorua The elevated nature of the site ensures many properties enjoy picturesque mountain and lake views, adding to the desirability of this growing community. In addition to the Hunua, Latitude Homes is showcasing three other designs in Richmond Terrace, the Ruapehu, Mayfield, and Pipiwai. However, Shaun says clients are not limited to pre-set designs. “People can select a section they love, and we’ll tailor a design to suit their needs,” he says. “Our goal is to make the home-building process as seamless as possible, offering a range of options from entry-level to high-end homes.” Shaun has recently expanded his Latitude Homes operation with the recent acquisition of a second branch in Hawke’s Bay/Gisborne. “With sections nationwide getting smaller, achieving a 217sqm home on a single level becomes difficult. That’s why we’re incorporating a well-designed two-story layout.” Custom Storage Made Easy. Walk-in, reach-in, freestanding wardrobes, sliding doors & more. 100% Kiwi owned.
