With arguably the best position in Governors Bay, Seascape is the coastal residence you have been waiting to discover. With breath taking unobstructed views straight down Lyttelton Harbour complemented by privacy, sun, shelter and abundant native birdlife, this stunning property captures the essence of seaside living. Only 15 minutes from Christchurch city yet a world away, Seascape has been described as being the armchair of the harbour. The 335m2 home features two double bedrooms on the ground floor serviced by separate bathroom facilities with the upstairs accommodation featuring the master bedroom and ensuite with adjacent library and sunroom designed to create a restful and contemplative space and to take maximum advantage of the sweeping views. The well designed country style kitchen and spacious dining area, accessed from a large welcoming entranceway, is the heart of the home and has two generous interconnecting living spaces adjacent for easy family life. In addition the ground floor conservatory is positioned for the afternoon sun with doors opening to a private sheltered courtyard ideal for entertaining. Other notable spaces include a separate office and laundry with external access plus a large attic space ideal for storage and a tandem garage and attached workshop. The house is well heated by three heat pumps, nitestore and wood burner.
The level section has been landscaped to create a breath taking environment with multiple outdoor living spaces and has been used in the past to host wonderful family weddings and garden parties. The garden includes several intriguing water features, a secluded gazebo and extensive native and exotic plantings including Kowhai, Pohutakawa, Dogwoods and Nikau palms. The mature plantings create a sense of peace and serenity and frame the terraced lawn which draws the eye toward the ever-changing seascape and hills beyond.
