Resort lifestyle with water views
Nestled on a large private section bordering Matua's reserve and tidal harbour inlet, this one-of-a-kind weatherboard home is selling for the first time since the owners designed and built it in 1973. Set at the end of a right of way off a tranquil cul de sac, this prestigious and highly sought after neighbourhood offers top school zoning and proximity for city commuting. The secluded property will appeal to a family who love distinctive contemporised resort-style entertaining with the in-ground Paradise pool having a corresponding view.
The 216 sqm (approx.) layout is architecturally engaging with a combination of timber tongue and groove and pastel toned walls. Both split level open plan living room, separate family lounge and kitchen/dining areas have beautiful high raked timber ceilings. Perfect for entertaining with heat pump and fireplace instilling a cosy vibe in winter, banks of bifolds stack back to allow easy flow in summer to decks, spa, and pool zones. A unique open-air platform beyond the pool has dress circle aspect to appreciate the inner harbour views. The soft grey toned open plan kitchen is the chef's happy place and boasts quirky brick clad island bench and stainless-steel appliances. Bi fold windows open from the family dining area for breezy ventilation and to access a sunny deck. Double bedrooms all comprise plenty of closet space with the upper floor master especially well-endowed with built in storage, fabulous views from the balcony and an ensuite. The main bathroom is divided into three components to cater for a busy family with shower room and toilet separate.
Lushly landscaped with double garage and room to park the boat or campervan and handy for Salt Marsh boardwalks for a stroll with the dog and kids. In coveted Matua School zone and few minutes by car to Cherrywood Village and Bureta for shopping, the city centre is a short trip by car or bus.
