A Home with Heart: Melissa and Mark’s Story

A dream home designed for family life, peaceful surroundings, and making everyday moments feel special.

"Signature Homes build quality and attention to detail stood out from the rest.
Their building guarantees and fixed price contract were important to us too."

Home Is Where the Family Gathers

Melissa, Mark, their two kids Flynn and Danica, and Coco the Labrador are now happily settled into their forever home in Paeroa — a place where country charm meets modern convenience.

After years of planning, they created a home that brings their family together in a space designed to evolve with them for years to come.

“Spend as much time as you can in the planning stage — it makes all the difference. Think carefully about how you’ll live in the home day to day, and how you can make the most of your section", says Melissa.

A Vision Years in the Making

Melissa and Mark had spent plenty of time dreaming, planning, and sketching ideas for their future home. When the time came to build, they had a clear vision: a home that felt warm, welcoming, and practical for family life. A separate wing for the kids, a home office, extra garage space, and a generous open-plan living area were all non-negotiables.

“Signature Homes’ build quality and attention to detail really stood out to us — and their fixed-price contract gave us peace of mind from day one.”

A Layout That Just Makes Sense

The home is cleverly zoned to give everyone their own space while still feeling connected. The kids’ wing is tucked away at one end of the house, complete with bedrooms, a TV room, bathroom, and laundry — the perfect setup for growing kids and busy mornings.

On the other side, the master bedroom is a true retreat, complete with a luxurious walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus a separate study for when quiet time is needed.
