Designed by respected architect David Delamare and occupying an exceptional 1,123sqm north-facing site, this wonderfully relaxed coastal home combines architectural character, privacy and outstanding sea views.

Built in 1983 and offering approximately 230sqm of floor area, the home has retained a warm, inviting and unpretentious quality, while providing excellent scale and flexibility for modern family living. Importantly, the home sits well back from the cliff edge, with reserve land in front, creating a wonderful sense of separation and openness to the coastline.

Mature pohutukawa frame the views, while an extensive and colourful garden adds another wonderful dimension to the property. Extensive use of Rimu and Douglas Fir throughout adds warmth and texture. Canadian roof shingles provide a practical upgrade sympathetic to the home's original architecture.

The main living level is the heart of the home. A generous open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen enjoys superb northern sun and expansive sea views. A traditional open wood fire creates atmosphere, while the kitchen features granite benchtops and excellent storage. Living flows effortlessly to a substantial wrap-around deck including a secluded spa – an exceptional spot for entertaining or simply enjoying the outlook.

Privately positioned upstairs, the master suite is a genuine retreat with magnificent sea views, private deck, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Downstairs are two further sea-view bedrooms with a versatile sitting room between them, ideal as a children's retreat, media or hobby room. A separate office with its own ensuite provides excellent work-from-home flexibility or additional guest accommodation.

Completing the property are a family bathroom, separate toilet and laundry, double internal-access garaging plus an additional single garage/workshop.
