When on foot the sun room which flows to the kitchen is likely to be your chosen entry point. At the other end of the house is a front door into the hallway which is also the access point from the double, internal access garage. Whichever way you enter, the welcome is warm.

This lounge has a sensational outlook and opens to a generous and inviting deck. Bathed in sunshine, it has gas radiator central heating and a wood burning fire for the colder months. Open plan to the kitchen and flowing to the dining room, this room is rich in texture and aesthetic. The ever changing outlook is hard to beat!

Open or closed to the living room this brilliantly versatile room is currently used for dining and media. When open, the combined space make for fabulous entertaining. A door opens directly to the front deck and there is also access from the hallway.

The sun room is a lovely, intimate breakaway spot with a big view. It also serves as a very pleasant entrance from the gardens and flows directly to the kitchen and front deck.

"The best kitchen layout we've known!" say the owners. It is beautiful too. The curved Rewa Rewa and Rimu island, granite bench tops and a combination of white and timber cabinetry reflect the sensitive renovation history of this home. The view is right there, so are your family and friends and life is sweet!

1. Upstairs, a larger-than-most double room with excellent wardrobe space and the most stunning views across Matiu/Somes Island to the harbour.

Further comfort is provided by carpet (new December 2022) and a radiator.

In summer, the front deck is as much a living space as the indoors. The rear deck has a lovely native plant backdrop and is a favourite breakfast spot. The beautifully established gardens attract rich birdlife with the sweetest song. Landscaped with stone terraces - a water feature here, a patio there - delightful!

The big double garage has internal access and an adjoining workshop. Recently re-wired and boarded out, with multiple double sockets installed, plus a dedicated socket for car charger and an external socket. There is space for 3 further cars on the driveway.
