Plenty of Options in this Sunny Retreat

Opportunity to add value and remedy some aspects of the home which require upgrading. Tucked away in its own lush microclimate this quirky 230 sqm (approx.) residence feels like you are living all year round at a holiday resort. Configured to allow the family to escape to their own spaces for some "me time" indoors and out, a large concrete swimming pool is the social summer focus of this board and batten chalet style home. Ample entertaining spaces, and slumber areas and located in Pillans Point School zone are all the elements that discerning buyers may be seeking. A special ambiance has been created on each of the three levels with the central floor comprising the primary living areas with linear architectural form. High raked ceilings and a glazed atrium soar above the open plan dining area and spacious kitchen. North facing sun saturates this area adding passive solar heating along with a log burner fireplace in the neighbouring living room, ducted to spread heat throughout the home. Vast sliders stack back to create easy and seamless connection from the interior spaces to the huge barbecue deck and adjoining terraces. The kitchen boasts engineered stone counters, black tapware, and oodles of cabinetry. Accommodation and attic rooms on the top floor include colossal master bedroom with roof balcony adjoining the garden, walk in wardrobe, and ensuite. A second fully renovated bathroom with freestanding tub and wet shower with monsoon head serves the large, divided bedroom on the central floor and the ground floor teen hangout with pool access has another large bedroom with ensuite. Tui birdsong is the bonus amidst tiered gardens featuring established fruit trees, natives, and tropical plantings. Loads of off-street parking sits outside the double garaging. Also zoned for Otumoetai Intermediate and College and close to McCardles Bush and Waikareao Estuary with a quick commute to the CBD.
