116B Harris Street, Inner Kaiti, Gisborne

Be self-sufficient in the heart of the city

A unique property, one which most residents in the area would pass by without even knowing it's there. Originally built in 1980 with each of the three previous owners adding to the appeal, this home was innovative in its day and ingenious in design.

A modern kitchen is the heart of this home, providing plenty of room to entertain and easy flow outdoors for summer meals outside. Four bedrooms cater for large families while the original internal garage has been closed in and is currently utilised as a games room/studio. With quirky staircases, wood features throughout and a huge loft/attic area on a third floor, this home is thoughtful in design and clever in execution. Two bathrooms to accommodate the family and guests while two living areas is perfect for entertaining all year round. Not only is this home large, it is also cost-efficient. Designed on a passive solar heating system and facing due north west to ensure full use of the sun - this is when the design features which trap the sun are most active.

This property is a retreat in every sense of the word. There are many areas to relax in your own time, potter in the garden, collect your own eggs, fruit and veggies or simply lounge around the solar-heated pool.

If camping and boating are more your thing, there is plenty of space to park the caravan or boat, plus a double garage to store the tools and toys and a carport too. Plenty of space to turn a vehicle around and stacks of outbuildings to store the wood, gardening equipment, etc. Pets and kids are secure with a fenced yard, providing an expansive area to explore without concern. Or for something different, pack a picnic and wander to the edge of the backyard, across the bridge to the Wendy House where they'll be entertained for hours.

This property will be offered as a Freehold Title of 3,513sqm in a sought-after location. An easy stroll to the CBD, waterfront cafes, restaurants and local attractions.
