Overview

Stylish, sunny and wonderfully versatile

Positioned to capture all-day sun and offering a clever use of space, this delightfully presented home is as flexible as it is appealing. Contemporary in design and immaculately maintained, it presents an exciting opportunity for a wide range of purchasers – from first-home buyers, to families who want to be close to Grants Braes and Andersons Bay primary, to downsizers and even astute investors seeking a smart, low-maintenance addition to their portfolio. Inside, the home is currently configured as two bedrooms. An additional room, connected to the second bedroom, provides generous storage and could be adapted for multiple uses, such as a therapy room, study, or nursery. This bedroom suite is complemented by an adjoining lavatory. A generous lounge forms the welcoming hub for daily life. A beautifully crafted, bespoke-designed freestanding window seat, positioned beneath a large, curved glass window, offers a wide view of the beautiful garden, surrounding native bush, and expansive sky. The ambience of this room invites you to settle in with a good book or enjoy quiet conversation in comfort; it is an oasis of calm and relaxation. The kitchen is a standout feature, boasting solid benchtops, a sophisticated colour palette, and ample storage – perfectly complemented by the adjoining dining area, ideal for hosting friends and family. A cosy wood burner adds warmth and atmosphere, while a large, sun-drenched conservatory extends the living space – ideal for a quiet morning coffee, yoga session, or unwinding at the end of a long day. The new bathroom features tiled flooring, a large shower, and a stylish vanity. A separate laundry adds convenience, along with further storage options. Extensive double glazing throughout the home and additional heat pumps provide efficient heating and comfort in every season. Outside, the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped for privacy and easy care, with a lovely mix of native plants, established camellias, and a charming rear rustic rock garden. Herbs and seasonal vegetables thrive in dedicated spaces nearby. Abundant birdlife adds to the natural charm of the setting, with tūī, bellbirds, and wax-eyes making regular appearances. The exterior of the home has been meticulously maintained, ensuring it is truly move-in ready. Off-street parking completes the picture. Warm, welcoming, and wonderfully functional, this home is a hidden gem offering comfort, charm, and the flexibility to suit your lifestyle now and into the future. Close to popular primary schools, Bayfield Highschool, the delicious Tuppence cafe, other handy amenities and public transport routes. Your early inspection is highly recommended.
