Some homes are special. Some are simply unforgettable.
Purchased by the current owners in 1983, this property has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 40 years. In 1988, they designed and built the home that stands today, working with an architect to create a truly individual residence. Native timber features throughout, complemented by cedar cladding and a distinctive glass turret that gives the home its unmistakable character.
From the impressive double-door entry, the home opens into a spacious and thoughtfully designed layout. The lower level features an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that takes full advantage of the water views, with two spacious bedrooms also enjoying the outlook. A family bathroom with shower, bath and vanity, plus a separate toilet, services this level, while the conservatory provides another lovely space to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
A large separate laundry offers excellent storage, with steps leading down to a double garage complete with workshop and two additional storage rooms.
Upstairs, you'll find the private master suite - a spacious retreat with a double wardrobe, ensuite and its own private deck offering beautiful water views across the Firth and beyond. Also on this level is a generous and versatile living space with soaring ceilings, plus a separate storeroom with a council-consented sink.
Outside, the elevated yet flat site is fully fenced and thoughtfully laid out, with ample off-street parking and raised, fenced garden beds. The grounds have clearly been much loved over the years and provide a wonderful foundation to build on. With a little vision and some fresh ideas, there is plenty of scope to put your own stamp on the gardens and make them your own.
Positioned in the heart of Thames, this is a property with genuine presence, character and history. Homes of this calibre and individuality are seldom found - and opportunities to secure something quite this special are even rarer.
A truly unique home, ready for its next chapter. Do not miss out.
