Escape to tranquillity in this French inspired residence set in a prestigious seaside suburb. Lovingly curated, the sunny, elevated property has views of the water and native trees cloaking neighbouring slopes. A colossal 3783 sqm (approx.) section descends into the valley to ensure the 180 sqm (approx.) house has unimpeded vistas and a sense of serenity.
Tastefully presented, the interior décor pays homage to the effortless chic that defines the French way of life. With a provenance from the 1940s era, the insulated and double-glazed home has been significantly transformed yet retains enduring character features. Native timber floors underpin a two-level floor plan with a seamless linking of old and new. For lovers of good food and wine, the core entertainment zones cater well for guests and family get togethers. An elegant sitting room has picture windows and an easy flow through bifolds to a dappled patio. A charming dining room is flanked on two sides by flush sill stackers to opt for alfresco mealtimes amidst treetop vistas on the tiered decking. The well-appointed designer kitchen combines practicality with warm, inviting artisan elements and offers plenty of storage. A cygnet grey family bathroom and two toilets serve all four upstairs bedrooms where plantation shutters, stripped floors and wider water views inject a cool coastal vibe.
Lawn and floral borders play nicely with native plantings creating a sheltered and well-established garden realm shared with tuis and fantails. The covered storage utility area takes care of the usual tools and tackle with ample parking off street. Minutes to the local shops, top cafes, beaches, and bush walks with school zoning for Muritai School and Hutt Valley High. Nestled in relative wilderness, the aspect is even more extraordinary considering the city centre is a mere 20 -25 minutes' drive from your door.
