84 Pomona Road, Ruby Bay, Tasman

SPACIOUS FAMILY HOME WITH SLEEP OUT

This sunny, sheltered 3,286 square metre property comprises a three double bedroom home with generous indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, a large single garage and attached studio unit. It is within walking distance of Ruby Bay beach and a few minutes' drive from the Mapua Village.

Densely-planted trees provide privacy to the house, studio and surrounds, which include low maintenance bark gardens, sweeping lawns and a small area of fenced pasture currently grazing two sheep. Both the house and studio unit have been positioned to the north-northwest to maximise the sun and views. The broad outlook sweeps over decks, lawns and trees to Tasman Bay and beyond.

The 181 square metre single level home was built in 2001. An extensive kwila deck and built-in bench seating extends along the north-facing frontage outside the living room, open-plan family room, dining area and two bedrooms. Wiring is in place for a spa pool on the deck outside the family/dining room.

Extensive renovations completed in 2011 included converting the internally accessed double garage into a spacious entertainment lounge, creating a new laundry, installing a Metro Eco wood burner in the living room and a heat transfer system to the entertainment lounge and bedrooms. New solar roof panels and a new mains pressure 300 litre hot water cylinder provide solar or electric water heating.

An additional 78 square metres of timber decking was added between the house and existing kwila deck and the Versatile garage and studio. The studio is newly wired and has been extended to include an ensuite with a double glazed window. The garage is now a large single garage, with plenty of storage on one side.
