92 | 3 Bears Construction T T Russell Fredric Development with lifestyle in mind Lot 1, currently under construction, is a mono-pitch-roofed three-bedroom house on 709sqm with a north and west aspect, North Otago husband and wife Adrian and Leanne Tuffley, owners of 3 Bears Construction, are bringing a unique edge to their latest property development. The couple are both builders, with Leanne having qualified in February this year and Adrian theoretically being her boss, while their son Riley is about to start a building apprenticeship and join his parents. Their development on Kenilworth Road is offering house-and-land packages on 10 lots in a semi-rural location on the north-western edge of Oamaru. With this being their sixth project, Adrian and Leanne have considerable experience behind them, including ensuring a high standard of construction and having a good sense of what the market is looking for. Titles were released early October, with the packages being marketed by Stephen Robertson of L J Hooker Oamaru and a variety of three- and four-bedroom plans available for buyer enquiry over $785,000. With sections of 619sqm to 746sqm, the houses are aimed at people likely to have good equity, and at the stage in their lives where they are either looking for or are already enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle, while easy-care sections make for a great lock-andleave option for holidays and travelling, Adrian says. “We’ve made provision for caravan, campervan or boat parking under cover. We’ve built a lot of townhouses, so this is something different. The section sizes lend more to houses than townhouses.” Lot 1, currently under construction, is a mono-pitch-roofed three-bedroom house on 709sqm with a north and west aspect, covering a total floor space of 214sqm and with lifestyle in mind, featuring a spa pool and covered deck. The kitchen, dining and living area are open plan, with seamless indoor/outdoor flow to the deck allowing for maximum enjoyment of long summer days and pleasant North Otago evenings. Functionality has been well considered, with the kitchen including a walk-in pantry and quality Fisher & Paykel appliances, a touch-activated sink mixer, a stone benchtop and high-quality joinery manufactured by Firman Joinery, a multiple-award-winning local business. The master bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe, while the other bedrooms have inbuilt double wardrobes. Design features that add a tangible touch of class include quality hardware and tapware throughout, floor and wall tiling, plus both a rain shower and hand-held shower in the ensuite and the addition of a bath in the main bathroom and heated towel rails in both. Family living and storage needs have been catered for with storage cupboards in the hallway, while the internal-access double garage provides space for a washing machine, dryer and included tub. Efficient heating and cooling will be handled by a Mitsubishi heat pump, while the new energy- efficiency regulations introduced last year require a high standard of insulation and thermally broken double-glazed aluminium joinery with low emissivity argon-filled glass. Both the Kenilworth Rd homes are specified to the same high standard, but there are 10 different custom-designed floor plans to ensure that each house-and-land package is unique to each purchaser. Adrian and Leanne have a very hands-on approach to the development.
