######  March 2025

Our West Auckland team’s showhome, [Tasteful in Te Atatu,](https://www.gjgardner.co.nz/show-homes/tasteful-in-te-atatu-13764694334) showcases a successful subdivide and build project. The West Auckland team worked effectively with the developer to subdivide their 800m2 section into 4 lots, keeping their original home and building 3 new spacious, two storey homes.

The showhome is positioned at the front of the section, offering 181m2 of floor space within a 88m2 footprint. The space-smart design is great for maximising the size of the small section while still providing plenty of living space. 

This custom design is optimised for natural light with a north-facing open plan area, well-placed windows and sliding glass doors. There’s a versatile outdoor living area and garaging for one vehicle.  

From the front door you walk straight into the living room. This fabulous space is enhanced by a soft grey and white decor and sleek finishes, creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation and entertaining.

The first thing you’ll notice when looking at the kitchen is the wall-to-wall bench space with storage high and low, plus a handy snack bench with bar seating. And then you’ll fall in love with the immaculate butler’s pantry, complete with sink - a fabulous feature for a household that loves to entertain.

Taking the stairs up to the second level, you're greeted by a versatile study or work space with room for two desks. There are two large, comfortable rooms for the kids or guests. These rooms share a beautifully appointed bathroom with luxurious tiling behind the free standing bathtub and vanity.

The master suite is the next wonderful surprise. It’s a serene retreat with views across the neighbourhood. There’s a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a glamorous tiled shower for two! The vanity is also a double act.
