Sea views and garden bliss

Uplift your spirits each day in this private, elevated home with its breathtaking views across the breadth of Tasman Bay and a native garden full of birdsong to give a nurturing, peaceful embrace. An architecturally distinctive house with a towering atrium and cathedral window looks out over the canopy of manuka, kowhai, titoki and many other natives whose restful green gives way to the blue sparkle of the Bay and hills of Bishopdale and Grampians. You'll enjoy this peaceful setting from the comfort of the warm two-storey home of 210sqm which offers the flexibility of separate living upstairs and down; perfect for couples who love to have guests to stay - or providing B&B opportunities.The full height atrium makes a memorable impression as you enter this spacious home set on its easy-care 1,112sqm section. It offers lots of living choices with a separate bedroom wing on the entry level, an office ideally positioned for a home-based business, and a lovely master suite upstairs bathed in light from morning to dusk.The house was built by its builder-owner in 1997 and shows craftsman attention to detail, highlighted by warm rimu timbers for floors, internal doors, architraves and skirting boards. The kitchen/dining room and separate lounge open to a wrap-around deck, a wonderful grandstand to savour the captivating views while hosting friends for dinner.You have easy, level access to large parking space outside the double garage, with a workshop space where handymen can get creative. Summer lunches under a pergola in the shade of the trees will have you feeling you're in a woodland park miles from anywhere, rather than just a few minutes' drive from beach, airport and city. This light, bright home is packed with features, including solar water heating to severely reduce power bills, a rainwater tank to save on garden watering costs and, for convenience, an internal vacuum system.
