Character, outlook and outstanding value
With an incredibly sharp price and highly motivated vendors, this is an opportunity to secure a distinctive architecturally designed home at compelling value. The vendors are committed to their next move and ready to sell, making this a property well worth your immediate attention.
Designed by architect Fiona Christeller, this distinctive home is a thoughtful response to its surroundings, carefully positioned to make the most of the site's unique outlooks and natural setting.
Clad in timeless board and batten, the home's character is immediately apparent. Curved rooflines, interesting angles and a departure from conventional square spaces create a sense of individuality, while large windows draw the outdoors in and frame views at every turn.
From the upper level, views stretch from the Kaweka Ranges across to the sea at Napier, providing an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day. Bordering a reserve and surrounded by established native planting, the home enjoys a treehouse-like feel, where birdsong and greenery form part of everyday life.
The flexible layout includes loft-style bedrooms full of charm and character, different office or studio spaces and two bathrooms one with integrated laundry.
Much loved by its current owners, this is a home they have designed, built and enjoyed over the years, with a clear appreciation for what makes it so individual. Now ready to downsize, they are offering the opportunity for its next owners to enjoy and make their own this truly distinctive property.
Offering a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining part of a welcoming neighbourhood, this home combines distinctive design, a strong connection to nature and outlooks that are difficult to replicate. With the vendors highly motivated and the price exceptionally sharp, this is an opportunity that deserves immediate attention.
Asking Price $795,000.
