If you are looking for views and a central location, and remedial work doesn't daunt you, then read on.
The location: Nestled on the ridge, the elevation provides views from both levels over the estuary to The Heads to the east and south to Pakiri, as well as over your bush clad section to the north and offers a sense of privacy. It is easy to walk from here to the water, shops and cafes and just a short drive to the surf beach or markets.
The home: This modest three-bedroom holiday home has a lot on offer. The ground level includes open plan living with wrap around decks, east and north, creating a sunny environment and with a wood burner the home is warm all year round. Two double bedrooms, bathroom and laundry complete this level. Upstairs a spacious master bedroom, with second toilet, adjoins a second sitting room. Both of these rooms boast estuary and dune views, open out to decking and offers a restful retreat. An external garage lets you store all the beach toys and golf clubs or secure the car.
The challenge: Being built on poles in sand, over time there has been movement and this needs to be rectified whether with retaining work and keeping as is or taking the opportunity to redevelop the site with the home of your dreams. Engineers have reviewed and estimates have been gained for both options.
The opportunity: Having owned the property since 2003, and loving the location, in 2016 when this became apparent, the owners were going to rebuild, but now with a health issue they are leaving this opportunity for someone else and, having received recognition from EQC, will be factoring these aspects into the sale price.
Excellent opportunity for astute purchasers!
