Kick off your shoes, push open the slider to the patio, and lie back on the recliner. Soak up the afternoon sun and watch the tide creeping over the golden sands of the Kaiteriteri inlet, the hills forming a picture-perfect backdrop to the idyllic vista.
Whether you're looking for a permanent home where you can add your personality, or a holiday home where there's space for family and friends, this could be the home that ticks the boxes that are paramount to you.
The rooms are well proportioned, light and airy. The decor is reminiscent of its era - remember the avocado bathroom fittings? It's all here and been well looked after. The separate kitchen, with its ample storage and plenty of bench space, opens into the spacious lounge and dining room through the shoji doors. It's a delightful area to enjoy, entertain and lap up the sun while appreciating the ever-changing views.
On the entry level, you'll find two large, light-filled bedrooms, two bathrooms, a handy laundry and a smaller bedroom which could be great for older children as it is accessed directly off the deck. A compact, second living room provides space for the kids to entertain themselves with board games, cards and other holiday activities.
A spiral staircase leads down to one more generous bedroom with vistas over the garden. Currently the home has beds for eight and there's still space for more if needed.
If off street parking is a requirement, there are no worries here. There's room for the boat and another vehicle or two, plus a nose to tail carport /garage. The icing on the cake is the amazing lawn - a wonderful sheltered area ideal for relaxing under a tree, enjoying a game of cricket with the family, or pitching a tent for backyard adventure.
If this is the type of property you've been looking for, you'll want to make an appointment to view now. This is truly a gem, rarely available.
