Commanding an elevated 1,000sqm (approx.) site, this iconic Riverton residence enjoys an enviable position diagonally opposite the historic Riverton jetty and just moments from the seafront reserve and boat ramp. Distinguished by its striking form and enduring construction, the home is believed to have been purpose-designed and built in the 1930s to complement its prominent coastal setting.
Constructed in solid, low-maintenance mass concrete with a classic stucco finish, the home spans approximately 310sqm and offers substantial family accommodation. Inside are five generous double bedrooms, a large breakfast and living room, two enclosed sunrooms, two bathrooms, a separate laundry, and additional utility spaces.
A thoughtful addition in the early 1970s introduced a substantial double garage and workshop, enhancing both functionality and storage. Entry is via a covered terrace that frames sweeping harbour views, leading into an impressive central staircase. This elegant feature ascends via two landings to a spacious upper-level gallery, providing access to the upstairs rooms and reinforcing the home's grand sense of scale.
Multiple decks and terraces create exceptional outdoor living options, each offering intimate and ever-changing views of Riverton Harbour. To the rear, established lawns and gardens surround a built-in barbecue area, with ample scope for further development if desired, including additional garaging.
While modern comforts have been carefully integrated-three heat pumps, a gas fire, and quality floor coverings - the home's original character has been lovingly retained. Much of the original joinery remains, including sash and casement windows, Rimu doors, and distinctive tiled features.
Enjoying harbour views from almost every room, this exceptional property is within easy walking distance of local cafés, restaurants, and shops, and close to safe swimming and surf beaches. Whether you're seeking a unique coastal residence, a premium holiday home, or an Airbnb opportunity, this is a truly rare offering in one of Riverton's most sought-after locations. The Team look forward to your enquiry.
