Perched high above Durham Street, this home feels quietly confident in its setting, taking in sweeping views across Picton and the harbour while remaining wonderfully private. There is a sense of calm here, where light moves easily through the spaces and the rhythm of daily life feels unhurried. It is a home that invites you to pause, to breathe, and to enjoy its elevated outlook just moments from town and the marina.
Inside, the layout has been thoughtfully considered. The open plan kitchen, living and dining area sits slightly lower than the rest of the home, creating a subtle sunken in effect that gives the space a relaxed, grounded feel. The kitchen has evolved beautifully over time, anchored by a chef worthy five burner Delonghi stove that will delight anyone who enjoys cooking and entertaining. A fireplace on a wetback system and a heatpump ensure year round comfort. A few steps up, the three bedrooms and bathroom form a peaceful retreat, each bedroom offering impressive built in wardrobe space. The toilet is sensibly separate from the bathroom, where the laundry is cleverly tucked away within a cupboard, keeping the space both practical and uncluttered. The master bedroom enjoys its own ranch slider opening out to a private patio, a perfect spot to greet the morning or unwind at the end of the day.
Outdoor living is equally well considered, with multiple spaces designed for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment. From the open plan living area, a ranch slider open to a spacious yet private covered deck, ideal for long lunches and evenings spent overlooking the harbour lights. A second lower deck connects seamlessly between the main deck and the master bedroom patio, creating a flow of outdoor zones that feel both connected and distinct. At the rear of the home, a closed in carport and adjoining rumpus room add flexibility, easily serving as an extra bedroom, home office, or hobbies room depending on your needs.
Above it all, a vegetable garden and private garden border the native bush, offering a sense of retreat that feels far removed from the bustle below, yet town and the marina are only a short distance away. This is a home that balances elevation with intimacy, design with comfort, and outlook with privacy. A place where everyday living feels considered, calm, and quietly special.
