40 Douglas Street, Okitu, Gisborne

Definitely different, decidedly quirky

Built before it's time, this home is a tribute to one of Okitu's real characters - a deep thinker who considered passive solar energy concepts before the buzz words took over. On the large 1,800sqm section, the home was designed to for privacy from the road and to maximise light and sunshine through the large living areas. This is not your average bungalow - quirky and dynamic with surprises around almost every corner. A series of hand picked, securely bolted support beams are a real feature of the open plan lounge with its clerestory windows to capture the morning sun and high, west facing windows trapping the afternoon light. Never quite finished but comfortable, warm and decidedly different, the property is waiting for new owners with the energy and vision to complete the project in this eclectic, family friendly beach community.
