24 Pacific Parade, Surfdale, Waiheke Island

Chic cottage on the crest

You can't go past the terrific location of this revamped 1950s bach with lovely twin sea views.
This sunny spot enjoys pretty vistas down the valley to Oneroa beach and sweeps across the island's hilltops to the peak of Rangitoto, then out over the gulf to Pine Harbour.
Set on top of an elevated site, this chic one-bedroom cottage and adjacent sleepout have been fabulously renovated to include all the mod cons for an easy life.
The contemporary, Shadowclad home has a generous deck that wraps around the entire property, allowing you to follow the sun as it rises and sets.
Stepping into the stylish living space, its modern flooring, heat pump and double-glazed joinery are an indicator of quality living and good temperature control, while its high ceilings and stained glass features provide a character-filled nod to the past.
The contemporary kitchen with stone benchtops features an attractive breakfast bar, with bi-fold doors leading straight out to the deck for lazy summer breakfasts.
There is extra storage in the hallway, past which are a bedroom on one side and a smart bathroom with tiled shower on the other.
Across the deck from the back door is a large laundry and utility room.
It's also easy to access the neighbouring sleepout, which enjoys lovely views out over the gulf.
While solid steps lead up to the home, the new owner could also take advantage of a resource consent that has been granted to construct a driveway that sweeps up and around the dwelling. Previous quotes are available on request.
There should be plenty of room to expand the home too, given its small footprint on the site, consents permitting.
Popular Pacific Parade is close to Oneroa and the ferry, not far from Palm Beach and a short drive to the Ostend hub and the schools.
This is a quality bach or first-time home, set on an exclusive ridge. It's fabulous as it is, with the potential to be so much more.
