Some homes capture a view. This one commands it. From one of the highest points in Ohauiti, the outlook sweeps from the Kaimai Range in the west, across the harbour estuary to Mauao, and out to the open ocean on the horizon. The land falls away in front of the house, so nothing stands between you and any of it. First light on the Mount with your morning coffee, the estuary shifting with the tide, the sun dropping behind the Kaimais at the end of the day.
The kitchen, dining and living run along the view side of the house and open to a covered deck, and this is where life will happen. Long dinners, slow weekends, evenings that stretch out. A considered renovation has brought the home right up to date, with an updated kitchen, new appliances, fresh flooring throughout and a full repaint inside and out. Three heat pumps throughout the house keep it warm, dry and comfortable through the year.
Five bedrooms and two living areas over two levels give a family room to spread out and still come back together. The separate room with its own entrance is a ready-made office or studio, or converts back to a second garage if the toys need a home. Off the back of the living area, a private deck and lush lawn catch the sun, heaven for kids and pets. Out front, generous off-street parking swallows the boat or the camper without a second thought.
Solidly built from materials made to last: concrete block, brick and cedar weatherboard under a concrete tile roof, this is a home with good bones. The section is thoughtfully landscaped too, with schist retaining walls, established garden beds and a sandpit for year-round use.
The view is timeless, the construction enduring. All that is left is to enjoy it.
