Sunny Coastal Retreat.

An ultra-chill lifestyle awaits at a waterside locale in a 1930s Mariners cottage, retaining the timeless appeal of yesteryear but meeting the demands of modern living.

Wide kauri polished floors welcome you to the original part of the home. The ground floor has a lounge, dining and kitchen, with two bedrooms and a bathroom. The open plan living is flooded with light and leads to different outdoor spaces chasing all day sun. A spacious kitchen opens to the private outdoor piazza. With its tropical garden, this covered space is a sheltered entertaining area for all seasons, perfect for coffee, brunch or a BBQ. Relax knowing that the kids and pets play on the secure and private front lawn. The 'Gin deck' off the lounge, with the lemon tree within arm's reach, is an intimate space and the perfect place to start the evening.

In 2005 an architect added a second level, retaining the character features whilst designing a tranquil sunlit parents retreat. The generous Master bathroom has a spa bath to wallow and unwind in, and a sunset balcony with spectacular views over Island Bay. It's a little-known fact that this side of the harbour gets the most brilliant sunsets and Island Bay is one of the best spots to watch the setting sun. Wake up to water views and delight in the swaying Kauri trees across the valley.

A short stroll to Island Bay Reserve and boat ramp. This area was once a holiday destination, and that coastal retreat feeling remains today. It is a very special piece of paradise that only the west-facing coastline of the harbour can offer, yet be so close to all local amenities and the City. With a convenience shop at the top of the street and zoned for the popular Kauri Park Primary, this home can easily be called the jewel in the crown.

Our owners are leaving Auckland and reluctantly passing the property on. So don't miss out and make your dream home a dream come true.
