34 and 36A Marine Drive, Diamond Harbour, Banks Peninsula

A beautiful blend of old and new

North-facing, private and enjoying excellent harbour and hill views, 34 and 36A Marine Drive, Diamond Harbour is a substantial home set on nearly 2,000sqm across two titles. Built in the early 2000s, it is a lovely blend of classic character with modern comfort, surrounded by established landscaping, bush and lawn in a peaceful, sunny setting.

The spacious open plan living area with polished hardwood floors flows through French doors to a large, highly usable deck that connects directly to the garden. A farmhouse-style kitchen and separate dining area provide room for family and friends, warmed by a wood burner with wetback. On this level, there is also a double bedroom, family bathroom and a second generous living room with its own wood burner - easily a fourth bedroom if required.

Upstairs, a beautiful timber staircase leads to another double bedroom and to the master with ensuite and private balcony positioned for the wide views. All bedrooms include built-in robes, and storage is ample.

On the lower level is an impressive four-car garage and workshop space with internal access to the house; what a fantastic advantage of this home.

Set down off the deck and in total privacy are twin bathtubs; a lovely space to sit, relax and enjoy the garden surrounded by the established fruit trees and bush. The property is fully fenced, and there is potential here to develop the second section if needed - perhaps a tiny house or studio. Our vendors have loved this special property, but it is now time to move on.

The Diamond Harbour coastal community offers the best of both worlds - a peaceful waterside lifestyle just 40 minutes drive from Christchurch City, or commute via a scenic ferry to Lyttelton, then hop on a connecting bus into town. Zoned for Cashmere High School, and with easy access to local amenities including the nearby Diamond Harbour School, KidsFirst Kindergarten, Four Square supermarket, three cafes and ferry terminal, this is a location that delivers lifestyle, connection, and long-term value.
