Coastal Visual Space

Watching orca and dolphins from the decks and wandering down to the shore to gather tuatua are just a few of the pleasures of a peaceful life on the beachfront.

This is a home that genuinely embraces its outlook. Only two windows face the street side and there is only one room (the downstairs bathroom) which does not have a sea view. The design lets you savour the scene from many different aspects, decks, just where you need them for all day sunshine that gives you plenty of places to sun yourself. Views from kitchen and wide views extend down the coast, past Maketu to Whale Island out on the horizon. From the lounge you can see Mayor Island and Motiti. Step outside and the outlook stretches up the coast to Mauao.

When this home was built in 1989 this Dennis Pocock designed home would have raised some eyebrows. The curvaceous concept with a solid simplicity in style and honesty in materials that has stood the test of time. The interior of the 250sqm home is perfect for a couple to live on the upper floor, while downstairs, two bedrooms flank a living area with kitchenette, in what makes an ideal family space or guest wing. Three sets of doors slide back for easy access to a brick outside terrace, partially protected by the decks above.

Back upstairs, the open plan kitchen area also has a delightful library or office nook curved into a corner. Formal dining in a central area links the lounge which envelops the entire ocean views of the home. Timber ceilings of varying heights create interest. The master bedroom suite is a mezzanine style, above and behind the lounge. It is a delightful room with a door to the deck, which basks in the afternoon sun. The bathroom has been upgraded, and is fully tiled in classic cream with under floor heating, but retains an original round window which can be opened to gaze at the ocean.

The 838sqm section has resource consent for subdivision - the grounds are set privately behind a wall. Ample parking outside. The double garage has a few steps to a beautifully bricked area extending right round the front of the house to a concealed utility area, and herb garden. Below the terrace a large deck lets you relax in sheltered seclusion overlooking a coastal flower garden with a path that joins the reserve walkway to the beach.

For visual space, living space, future development space, and 'head space' - look no further.
