Overview

A Century of Character, Sympathetically Restored

Meet Tuahine- a truly special Eastbourne residence with a fascinating past, beautiful character and a fresh lease on life. Designed in 1924 by renowned architect Stanley Fearn in the distinctive Arts & Crafts style, Tuahine was commissioned by sisters Theodora and May Greenwood, who called this home for many years. After 50 years in the same family, Tuahine changed hands two years ago and has since been thoughtfully and sympathetically restored. Original character sits comfortably alongside considered modern touches, including beautiful brass fittings, designer lighting, granite benchtops and a carefully curated colour palette. Elevated and north-facing, the home enjoys sparkling harbour views and all-day sun, while a mature pohutukawa hedge creates a wonderfully private and sheltered setting. And with the beach directly across the road, the lifestyle here is every bit as appealing as the home itself.
