Set above the marina at the entrance to the Marlborough Sounds, this north facing sunny home was chosen by the current owners the moment they stepped inside. From the street this home gives little away, but once indoors the outlook becomes the defining feature. Large windows frame views across the marina, township and the waterways that lead out to the Sounds. The Village of Havelock is within a short walking distance. Turn another direction and the farmland and surrounding hills come into view. It’s a place where the outlook constantly changes with the light, the tides and the weather.
Built by Glenroy, the two-storey home is double glazed and designed so the main living area takes full advantage of the views. Upstairs you’ll find the kitchen, living space, the master bedroom, a second bedroom and a full bathroom. The kitchen panoramic view looks directly out toward the marina, commercial wharf, and Kaituna Ridges farm through wide windows, making everyday tasks feel a little less routine. There is plenty of storage here too, with generous cupboards and a large pantry.
The living room is large and opens out to a substantial deck that runs along the north side of the home. A recently installed Archgola with ziptrack screens makes the space entirely usable through most seasons, creating a sheltered outdoor area for relaxing or entertaining while still enjoying the outlook.
Downstairs are two huge bedrooms and a very large bathroom, there is also a formal entranceway, the staircase and internal access garaging and extensive storage space.
These folk have made practical additions over time, including double glazing, a 16-panel solar system, a recently installed large heat pump, a double drawer dishwasher and a relatively new hot water cylinder.
The rear grounds are fully fenced and gated, with good off-street parking and good sized garden beds for growing vegetables. A separate 9 x 6 metre garage with a 2.7m high stud provides room for a caravan, boat, or larger vehicles. The large area of off-street parking is also suitable for a campervan or larger boat. (no docking costs!)
The owners say it has been a genuinely easy and enjoyable home to live in. Their plans now lie elsewhere and they are ready to pass it on to someone new who will appreciate this position just as much as they have. They invite you to make them an offer today, you’ll be glad you did.
