4 Wall Street, Kaiteriteri, Tasman

A secluded sanctuary

In a quiet spot between Kaiteriteri and Stephens Bay, this generous home comes with its own slice of native bush and bird life. Delightful open plan living, dining and kitchen flow on to the expansive deck which looks across the tree tops. Bi-fold doors and a level finish make for a seamless indoor-outdoor connection - the ideal place to enjoy long summer evenings. Chic stainless-steel fittings and appliances complement the stone and slate colour scheme in the kitchen.

The entranceway shows off the interesting geometry of the house, leading on one side to a private bedroom, stylish bathroom and the large internal access garage. Turn the other way to the light filled hallway, which is a feature in itself. It's at the centre of the house and runs full length, separating the living areas from the bedrooms, beginning at the front door and ending outside the master bedroom with huge windows that offer up an unhindered view of the forest right outside.

The master bedroom shares this aspect, so you'll wake to peace, privacy, and a fresh, leafy outlook. There's a walk-in wardrobe and roomy ensuite for your convenience, tucked behind a free-standing wall, ensuring absolute comfort. With four bedrooms altogether, there's plenty of space for extended family and guests, making it easy to share your piece of paradise with loved ones.

A heat pump in the living area and underfloor heating in both bathrooms provide temperature control. Double glazing and insulation in ceiling and external walls will keep you cosy in winter and cool in summer. The easy-care section includes off-street parking for a boat or caravan, and garden right up to the decking. Plus, of course there's the generous double garage. The house sits almost casually on its section, effortlessly blending into its surrounds. The interior comes as a pleasant surprise when you discover this is not just a normal build - there are thoughtful features and details in every direction.
