Sea, Sun and Ever-Changing Views

First time for sale since 1997. This home is set along its own driveway with 1125 sqm prime ocean front views. Imagine waking to the sunrise watching the ever changing seascape. Boats and cruise ships, bird life and fresh sea air.

Flat section high up on the bank with a grandstand view.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master is on the first level with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and views for miles. This was an addition designed by Barry Bracefield Architects.

At the heart of the home is a large modern kitchen, perfect for cooking, entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the open-plan dining area, creating a welcoming space for family and friends.

From here, step into the light filled sunroom which flows out onto a deck creating excellent indoor-outdoor flow. It's the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise, or relax in the evening as the sun sets over the sea.

For year round comfort the home features both a gas fireplace and a heat pump, keeping the home warm and cosy on those stormy sea days.

Outside the property continues to impress with fruit trees, a BBQ area ideal for outdoor entertaining, and a potting shed positioned to enjoy the sea outlook while gardening. The garden also features a beautiful golden totara tree, adding character and natural beauty to the property.

Completing the home is a large double garage with internal access, providing secure parking, storage and convenience, along with a spacious workshop room ideal for motorbikes, storage or hobby projects.

Opportunities like this are incredibly rare - a property held and loved for nearly three decades, now ready for its next chapter
