Escape the hustle and bustle of big city life in this tranquil retreat tucked away at the end of a private no exit street located above Chelsea Bay. Showcasing a wonderful blend of comfortable family living and incredible views, this home has a timeless sense of character. There's only a small number of properties accessed off Inkster Street and they are surrounded by an abundance of beautiful trees and birdlife. The property is home to pohutakawa, rimu, cabbage trees, as well as the cheerful sounds of tuis and kereru.

The highly convenient location plays a huge part in its appeal with Takapuna and Ponsonby less than ten minutes' drive away off peak while the ferry offers a relaxing alternative for daily city commuters. The house is predominantly crafted from cedar and fits effortlessly into its coastal location. All the living areas look out through a wall of windows which capture the expansive views across the harbour and provide one of the best seats in town for the New Year's Eve fireworks.

The spacious home is a haven all year round, with a classic wood burner for those cooler nights and open entertaining decks for soaking in those stunning summer sunsets. The salt water pool and spa will be an absolute winner with the children as will the play loft in one of the four bedrooms. The downstairs bedroom, which opens onto the pool, has also been used as a family rumpus room and teenagers' retreat. The property is also well set up for working from home and it has a good sized two-car internal garage with storage.

For the past twenty years the current family have loved living here (see Herald Homes article HERE) with the beautiful Chelsea Estate Heritage Park just a short stroll away. This freehold coastal oasis is designed for those who seek the ul
