Time and tides for waterfront living

This sensational elevated and rare property nestles in a prestigious neighbourhood where homes have direct waterfront access onto the shoreline. Views across Matapihi capture distant Mauao, while at your feet, the tidal waters of the inner harbour stir the sandy shallows. You’ll be able to vacation all year round in your very own Hamptons-like resort with bonus cabin. Imagine endless days filled with active ball games and romantic picnics, launching kayaks, paddle boards and jet skis, and the sizzle of steaks on the barbecue long into the warm nights.

The traditionally styled architecture with exterior fretwork and dormer windows shapes the 280sqm (approximate) brick and timber clad 1980s residence eliciting a nostalgic charm with most rooms oriented to face dreamy marine scenery. Solid rimu joinery complements the elegant and timeless interior décor, further embellished by decorative cornices, leadlight panes, and ceiling rosette medallions capping classic glass lighting. A spacious entrance foyer with wainscoting provides a warm welcome, while the adjacent formal sitting room with refined period fireplace mantle boasts a bay window. A similarly adorned family-come-dining area with secluded window seat has another door to the front terrace and spa pool zone for alfresco dinners and a dip. The timber theme continues in the kitchen where ample cabinetry accompanies servery and modern appliances. Four bedrooms are all doubles with ground floor master bedroom a sumptuous floral themed boudoir. Each of the two bathrooms are a nod to earlier days and like the rest of the home, present scope to contemporise if desired.

The 939sqm (more or less) section has generous off-street parking in front of double garaging, with landscaped grounds of mature trees and flowering shrubs. In zone for Welcome Bay School and close to shops and transport for an easy commute to the CBD, this property has all the Christmas bells and New Year whistles a family could wish for.
