This lofty 1960s built residence on the upper slopes of a prestigious Pillans Point School zone cul-de-sac presents a sensational opportunity to maximise spaces and adapt for multi generational families or Airbnb configuration. The colossal recently recarpeted 410sqm (approx.) home with hydraulically operated elevator presents supersized living areas and accommodation within a high-quality dwelling that was extended in the 1990s merging modern with elegant character elements of yesteryear.

Elevated and north facing for abundant sun and views, the panorama embraces Welcome Bay hills, port, harbour, Mount and Matakana and Mayor Islands best admired from a colossal, curvaceous north facing balcony with awning. Copious natural light pours into spatially generous open plan living and dining areas with the modern décor defining every room while high stud and decorative cornices evoke a timeless grandeur. The spacious kitchen is fitted with a multitude of powder blue cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and has eye catching timber topped island. Two upstairs bedrooms share a family bathroom while master quarters comprise walk-in wardrobe, tiled ensuite, Mount view and balcony access. The pitched roof cobble floored conservatory at rear provides a transitional zone from interior to gardens while a large laundry could convert to a fourth bedroom. The home is fitted with recently serviced HRV and has Bosch LPG hot water and Beam internal vacuum system. A mammoth rumpus-come-games room and adjacent storage downstairs has potential adaptability while extra height garage parking accommodates multiple vehicles and the same again outside on a boat-friendly forecourt.
