This gorgeous four-bedroom property will tick boxes you didn't even know you had! From the newly completed deck offering panoramic views of the harbour, to the kids' paradise of established gardens rambling across the quarter acre section, 11 Monowai Road packs so many features they can't be adequately covered in an advertising script.

Tasteful upgrades have gently modernised the property while retaining a sense of warmth, while the artistic flair of the owners is evident throughout, in touches such as the stunning copper soak bath and handmade stained glass. The beautiful library conversion is a standout feature, with inbuilt mahogany bookcases lending their rich fragrance to the space. Banquette seating and storage run along opposite, with a full bathroom tucked against the rear wall, which also features more artisan fixtures.

In the main family living, wool carpets and a multi burner on wetback keep you cosy with a heat pump for back up heating or cooling in summer. Extensively double glazed, the home is a quiet retreat for all seasons. Sliding doors at the dining nook lead through to the covered porch - perfect for growing herbs just outside your kitchen door - which also functions as a mud room and storage. A paved barbeque area is just beyond, with views to the harbour over the roofline, a lovely spot for summer twilight entertaining.

The established garden on the quarter acre section has pleasant surprises at every turn of the path. The studio/workroom could be your creative retreat, and has the same stunning views as the main dwelling - how could you not feel inspired? Mature fruit trees dot the property, and there's plenty of space to run some chooks and get to growing for those with the hankering but not the capacity for a lifestyle property, while still being only a few minutes from the university and CBD.

Additional features include:

• Single garage with power, off-street parking for two further vehicles
• Large separate washhouse with tons of extra of storage
• Over 160m2 of space across the main dwelling and outbuildings
• Peaceful setting with nearby Signal Hill walking tracks

This property needs to be seen to be appreciated for all it has to offer - we look forward to welcoming you to the open homes.
