From the very moment you walk through the front door of this striking board and batten home you are drawn in, intrigued, and uplifted by the unique architecture and attractive setting. The beautiful solid Rimu floors and relaxed interior with vaulted ceilings complement the native bush environment - all creating a very inviting atmosphere. The thoughtful floor plan encompassing five bedrooms and three bathrooms, is one that will thrill the kids with many spaces to hide, play, retreat to and sprawl. The well-appointed master suite is sensibly separated, just enough to afford its own blissful zone. Whilst these areas are separated, vaulted ceilings in the main open plan living area allow a clever form of connection. The light and bright interior blends and seamlessly extends with outside where a large deck provides a sunny connection hub. A spa pool and your very own native bush walk give a tranquil "retreat feel". Meticulously maintained and immaculate in presentation this property offers a great deal to those wanting a very special and embracing family home with the added fortune and flexibility of the separate enchanting cottage. A large workshop/secure storage area easily accommodates an active family's requirements. A significant and valuable benefit is dual zoning for all three levels of schooling, including Mairangi Bay and Campbells Bay Primary Schools; Murrays Bay and Wairau Intermediate Schools; Rangitoto College and Westlake Boys' and Girls' High Schools. This exceptional property on 1363m2 of freehold land is a very rare find in the Bays. Just a few minutes' walk from sparkling beaches, a popular local restaurant, and stunning Centennial Park (73 hectares) completes the lifestyle package.
