Description
For the property information, please go to: https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/126Nayland Defined by position, potential and an enduring sense of place, this three-bedroom family home occupies a prized setting just one block back from the beach on the sought-after Sumner flat, delivering a lifestyle where coastal ease meets everyday practicality.
Set on a generous, fully fenced corner site of Head and Nayland Streets, the home enjoys a rare balance of space, sun and accessibility, with the shoreline, village amenities and local school all within an easy stroll. Comfortable and functional, it presents an exciting opportunity for families, downsizers or long-term buyers seeking immediate enjoyment with the freedom to further enhance over time.
Character remains a defining feature throughout the home, where original rimu detailing and distinctive timber features introduce warmth, texture and authenticity. These elements are thoughtfully complemented by modern upgrades that support contemporary living, including double glazing and two heat pumps, assisting with comfort through the seasons while preserving the home's original appeal.
The living environment is welcoming and well connected with French doors opening to a wonderful north-facing deck that wraps around the home and links with the spacious living area. This indoor-outdoor connection creates a relaxed setting for family life and entertaining, extending naturally to a spacious lawn that is both easy-care and securely enclosed, ideal for children, pets or future landscaping possibilities.
The corner site enhances both privacy and street presence, while offering scope for future improvement through considered renovation over time. A single garage accessed from Head Street adds valuable space for a vehicle, storage, or hobbies.
Properties of this nature are increasingly sought after, and demand for well-located family homes in Sumner and especially the Golden Triangle remains strong. With retained character, practical upgrades yet huge scope to improve and exceptional proximity to the beach and village, this home presents genuine opportunity and broad appeal, making it a compelling offering.
Our owners are relocating overseas and motivation is A+.
