Deadline Sale brought forward
Tuesday 20th October at 4.00 pm (not selling prior)
Step into a bright, beautifully designed home where every day feels warm, welcoming, and effortlessly comfortable.
It's designed around the sun. The north side has generous glazing, with eaves to shade it in summer, filling the airy rooms with natural light, while keeping things cool and restful.
Beneath your feet, the insulated concrete slab soaks up the day's warmth and lets it out slowly, maintaining a gentle 18 to 20 degrees almost year-round. On a scorching nor'wester, you come home to a calm, cool house. In July, it holds onto every bit of comforting warmth.
A thermostat-controlled pellet fire adds a cozy touch for winter evenings, and from November to March, the solar hot water handles the heavy lifting. Grey water from the house irrigates the native plantings in the front garden.
Even as power prices climb, this is a home that looks after your family budget - operating effortlessly for around $200 a month.
The flexible layout of this four bedroom home makes everyday family living a breeze. Sun-drenched living areas flow out to the deck for summer barbecues sheltered from the easterly breeze. A versatile separate studio and large double garage provide endless options—whether for a home office, workshop, teenager's retreat, or storing bikes and surf boards. All this complemented by generous storage in every corner of the house.
Then there's everything outside the front door.
The generously-sized garden is a family paradise designed for children to play and plants to thrive. Summer here means running barefoot on the lawn and grabbing fresh fruit straight from the tree for an afternoon snack. There are apricots, plums, feijoas and a fig, plus a grapevine that's been producing for over 30 years. And when the heritage peach tree ripens in February, you’ll be buying a chest freezer to store the summer flavour for months to come.
The lifestyle here is exceptional with both the beach and estuary just a four-minute walk away. You can swim in the morning before work or bike the estuary path on a Sunday. The kids can walk to primary school and bike to high school with their mates.
South New Brighton runs more like a village than a suburb. Walk to yoga or te reo classes at the community centre, stroll down to Common Ground for the coffee cart and Friday night food trucks, or wander to the beach to enjoy Kite Day and the surf club competitions without ever touching a car key. You'll know your neighbours by name within a few weeks.
After over twenty years of cherished family memories here, the owners have bought elsewhere and are committed to selling.
Homes crafted with this level of intelligence, flexibility and heart rarely come to the market this close to the beach. Get in touch to book a private viewing.
