Zemmery Fidd

The moment you climb the steps, cross the shaded deck and open the front door of Zemmery Fidd, you feel welcome, the warm tones of polished wood floors, the traditional hearth and white-painted joinery all combine to say this is home.'
If a Russell house without a water view is like a song without a tune, this house is a smash hit as its view is among the very best; a wide-screen panorama that spreads out the whole of the estuary from busy Paihia to the treaty grounds at Waitangi. And when the evening sun sinks towards the western hills, the blazing sunsets are unforgettable.
Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms share a shower room while two more on the ground floor enjoy another with a bath. Most of the ground floor is taken up by a big open plan living space with glazed doors onto the front deck which virtually doubles the area for relaxation and is the obvious place to stand a BBQ. Another smaller deck at the rear catches the morning sun and is the perfect place for a late breakfast. A well-appointed modern kitchen completes a very practical and flexible arrangement. The house follows a traditional 'Cape Cod' design, with cedar weatherboarding, white shutters and a big walk-in wardrobe in every room.
Located on a quiet residential cul de sac, the house has plenty of off-street parking. The gently-sloping front and rear lawns can be used for kids to play on and adults to relax in the sun or in the shade of the gracious old pohutukawa tree. Its a short walk to Russell High Street with its selection of shops and waterfront restaurants where the constant flow of ferries, yachts and angling boats make the town pier the busy hub of the place, and in the other direction you can walk to Long Beach for a swim.
