BIRDS OF PARADISE

55 Pukakura Road, Katikati

This modern, immaculate character home is bathed in its northerly aspect and nestled privately on a prime elevated site with water views, just a short distance from Katikati’s town centre. Beautifully landscaped subtropical gardens and colonial design elements add to the overwhelming charm of this lifestyle opportunity. A small avocado orchard presents an easy additional income opportunity and will suit those looking for a new pace of life, or if "hands-off" is preferred, provide an attractive backdrop and place to wander. Four large bedrooms with an equivalent number of bathrooms provide for family or guests, and spacious open-plan living & dining areas invite relaxation and conversation whilst connected to the views and ambiance of this magical environment. This unique home and property must be experienced to be appreciated... you'll find your feelings hard to forget.

FEATURING

  • Born in 2006, this immaculate home, in every sense, oozes the authentic character and charm one would expect from the design boards of Ambienti. Privately nestled on an elevated site with a northerly aspect and waterviews in the Western Bay of Plenty and only a short distance from Katikati’s town centre.

  • Considered and nurtured, the landscaped planting enhances the home character and, with its wrap-around verandas, transports you to the luxurious tropical plantation homes of old.

  • Beautiful details abound with stunning extensive wooden joinery, brass door and window hardware that’s universally keyed, moveable sash windows, parquet floored formal entry, and various built-ins.

  • A geothermal bore provide hot water for circulation the the property’s hydronic underfloor heating network which covers the entire home (excluding the garage) given an efficient radiant heat source for absolute comfort no matter what the conditions outside.

  • All four bedrooms are en-suited, 3 of which open to the veranda, and an elevated continuous 178m2 of delightful Kwila deck space.

  • Kitchen includes a breakfast area which opens onto a section of veranda with an impressive execution of sliding joinery for wind protection and all weather use.

  • Large garage space connected by the veranda to the main house contains a larger laundry, a powder room and a storage area that is plumbed and allows for conversion of the garage to a studio space if required.

  • 25 Avocado trees provide an attractive entry and buffer to the neighbouring orchard with more than enough income in most years to pay rates and insurance and complement the 13 other types of edible planting well established on this forever-home site.
