There is a lovely sense of peace at 7 Waitohu Road. Set in a sheltered position in York Bay, this distinctive home enjoys a beautiful sea outlook and a setting that invites you to slow down and enjoy your surroundings.
Designed in the 1970s by David Lough & Associates and built by Hanson & Baigent Bros Ltd, the home has a character and individuality all of its own. High ceilings, warm timber tongue-and-groove detailing and thoughtfully positioned windows create an appealing play of light throughout the interior, drawing the surrounding greenery into the home.
The living spaces flow naturally to a generous entertainer's deck, with the swimming pool and sea views creating a wonderful connection between indoors and out. The main bedroom is particularly special, with its own access to the pool - imagine slipping out for an early morning swim or a refreshing dip at the end of the day.
Solar heating for both the home and pool, together with mainly double-glazed windows, adds to everyday comfort. Subsequent alterations designed by Wellington architect John Mills have further shaped the home, which the current owners have carefully maintained over their 17 years here.
The setting offers plenty to enjoy beyond the home, too. The beach is close by, with bush walks in the surrounding hills and the coastal walking and cycling trail nearby, all adding to the appeal of this seaside setting. A nearby bus stop provides convenient transport, while local schools, Eastbourne village and the city are all within comfortable reach.
Now heading south, the owners are offering someone new the opportunity to enjoy this peaceful setting, distinctive home and relaxed way of life.
