33 Blanket Bay Road, Sawyers Bay, Dunedin, Otago

Head up the sweeping driveway of 33 Blanket Bay Road, and you'll be torn between admiring the captivating harbour views, or the sprawling gardens and extensive home awaiting you at the top. A light-filled entrance foyer welcomes you into the upper level of a home that seems to keep unfolding before you. A large living room with lovely brick feature wall flows through to a separate dining space, with sliding doors out onto a large, sunny deck that runs the length of the upper floor. A second, separate living space also benefits from easy access out onto the deck, and the adjacent kitchen is modern with plenty of storage and bench space. The living quarters of this home provide great options for year-round entertaining, with excellent indoor-outdoor flow. The upper level of the home features four generous double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate toilet. Storage has been thoughtfully planned, with wardrobes in three of the bedrooms, and numerous hall cupboards for the overflow. Downstairs, there is a large rumpus room with its own external access out onto a cobblestone patio - perfect as a space for teenagers to hang out, as a home office, or for guests when they come to stay. This level also houses a second toilet, good-sized laundry and internal-access double garage. This space is huge, with a large workshop area, and a separate basement for additional storage. There is plenty of off-street parking at both the front and the rear of the property, with room for the caravan, boat, trailer and more! The gardens here are delightful - landscaped and well-established with a mixture of native plantings and bright flowers, manicured lawns, mature trees and numerous tracks to explore, with a gentle creek and cute wooden bridge as a bonus. A large shed for all the tools is located beside a sizeable greenhouse and vegetable box, for all your planting needs. Quiet and private with a rural feel, yet just 15 minutes from the city centre, let 33 Blanket Bay Road be your oasis away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
