Soak up the warm, rustic character of this large 5-bedroom home that gains sweeping water views over the Tamaki Estuary to Half Moon Bay. Set away from the road, the solid, tastefully updated home provides a peaceful escape on a large, level, private property where there is plenty of room for a pool. As you step inside, experience the romantic vibe of soaring timber ceilings, exposed timber beams and intriguing spiral timber staircases. Expansive open plan living on the main level exudes welcoming warmth, reminiscent of a ski lodge. You are enticed across rich timber floors to a cosy fire and sensational views beyond. While the character asserts a timelessness, this area has a contemporary feel with a modern kitchen incorporating an underbench wine fridge. Bifold doors open wide to a wraparound entertainer's deck. As the master bedroom suite is on the same level, this floor offers apartment-like ease for parents. The master includes an office (or dressing room) and modern bathroom. Two of the bathrooms have toasty heated floors. Children have their own lounge in a separate zone downstairs encompassing 3 large bedrooms, a family bathroom and doors that flow to the garden. Then there is a guest suite, ideal for teens or rental on the upper level with a walk-through wardrobe, an en suite and more fabulous views. It is complemented by a double carport and good offstreet parking.
