FEATURING

Situated in a prime location for CBD and harbourfront access, enjoying solid north-facing harbour views and an established community. 

The property is entered from the cul-de-sac via a short, shared and gated driveway. Access to double garaging and off-street parking leads up to a substantially sheltered entry porch.

A foyer accesses both a large lounge and a four-bedroom and its bathroom, a space ideal for more independent family members and guests or perhaps officing. The lounge enjoys a sunny aspect, recently added patio doors, and substantial built-in shelving that’s both practical and attractive. A drinks cabinet with a hidden bar is a unique heritage element of the space and, no doubt, a storied centre of this home’s history.

The independent lounge space connects through native timber and glass doors to the centre of the home. From here, one has access to a louvre-covered deck space overlooking lawns and pool, an easy stairway to the first floor, or the kitchen and dining area through another ornate door set.

Sympathetically updated with wooden joinery double glazing, modern bathrooms and kitchen, and benefiting from a gas-fired central heating system.

The kitchen is beautifully updated, providing a truly modern and very functional space that’s in juxtaposition but in complete harmony with the character of the home. Direct views to the garden, pool, and Mount Maunganui enhance day-to-day living. The kitchen also connects to the rear of the property and its private paved utility courtyard through a generous, dedicated laundry, a very practical floorplan often lost in modern design.

Turn right at the top of the character-rich stairwell for the master suite, which is an inviting space with spectacular views, lots of light, a wardrobe wall, and a modern ensuite. Two other sizable bedrooms with built-in wardrobes also enjoy a northerly aspect and the sweeping harbour views offered on this level. These bedrooms are conveniently serviced by a powder room at the top of the stairs and connect to a fabulous balcony that has the potential to be a significant use area, given the quality of this additional outdoor living space.

An outdoor lifestyle is well catered for by a patio with a dining and outdoor fireplace setting, as well as a separate motorised louvre-covered deck space with a pass-through to the kitchen. Both these areas adjoin a beautiful concrete pool with a pump house changing room, powder room, and adjacent spa pool. The pool area’s idyllic orientation ensures a natural summertime pool temperature of 31 degrees Celsius.

The drive-through double garage means the rear utility courtyard offers additional secure off-street parking space, which cars or small boats/trailers could take advantage of. The section is fully fenced and gated into two distinct areas, front and rear, and is thus ready to accept pets and children.

Park-like landscaping on a suburban scale has been updated in line with a recent redesign by Carolyn Murphy and is perfectly executed to provide a private, high-visual-impact, but low-maintenance home environment.
