Never to be interrupted panoramic water and sky views are promised from the elevated position of this tastefully refurbished 1920s bungalow. The large windows running the expanse of the east, north and west walls of the spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen provide all day sunlight. The activity on the river, the harbour, the bridge and the sea over to the coastline of Invercargill will keep you transfixed for hours. You can even watch the local rugby games, the star of show is the breath taking southern lights, sunrises and twilights…..truly a sight to behold. French doors open from the living area onto to the expansive Kwila deck, exposed aggregate concrete and grass outside entertainment areas providing ample room to comfortably host family, friends, pets and the neighbours. A sliding servery window from the dining area adds to the indoor-outdoor flow and helps keep the conversation, food and drinks rolling while cooking the BBQ. There is a heat pump/aircon unit in this space as well as an Escea gas fire. The second living area has French doors also opening onto the outside entertainment area and spa. This is a relaxing space allowing shelter from the strength of the sun or coastal winds and has an ornate gas potbelly for heating in the cooler months. Three double bedrooms can easily sleep eight people. Each have inbuilt wardrobes and wall heating units as well as ducting from the heat transfer unit, one also has an ornate gas fireplace. There is a tiled ensuite and a large main bathroom with bespoke finishes including a traditional deep soak bath, large copper and brass wall to floor shower cavity and a Rimu vanity with a tall towel cupboard attached. The functional kitchen is made of Rimu and hardwood cabinetry providing plenty of bench space and storage including a pantry. There is a dishwasher, under bench steam oven, on bench combi oven and microwave and gas hob. The laundry is discreetly tucked away behind bifold doors in the wide hallway with storage, a bench, sink and taps plus space for both washer and dryer. The exterior cladding is a mixture of old and new weatherboards newly painted 3-4 years ago. The roof is corrugated steel also repainted and polycarbonate roofing over the second living area. The interior was redecorated 5 years ago, new carpet in living and bedrooms plus re-varnishing of the Rimu floorboards in kitchen, hall and bathroom, 3 years ago. Switchboard updated and all wiring checked approx 4 years ago. Insulation is underfloor, in ceiling and walls. Windows are wooden frames and single glazed except in the living/dining/kitchen area as they are thicker safety glass. The home is on concrete piles making it possible to transport and provides a huge storage space under the house with lighting. Piles have all been checked and are in good condition and stable. The Colour Steel double garage was originally fitted out as a joinery workshop with plenty of bench space, drawers, cupboards, electric plugs and exhaust fan. The attached carport provides a space for storage of surfing/boating/fishing equipment and functions as a fish bay with stainless steel bench, sink and taps. It has a concrete floor and could easily be converted into a living space. The terraced section is fully fenced and beautifully planted with easy care, low maintenance in mind. On the top terrace is a veggie plot and room to park a caravan close to power and water supply. There’s also room to park another caravan with awning or build a unit for the kids or granny flat for nana and pop. The second terrace provides room for a marquee/tent for the summer holidays or a family event. The property, views and ongoing potential are outstanding and it could be yours, a wonderful Christmas surprise the family would be forever grateful for. (There is also a chattels package for consideration).
