The home is set well back from the road to capitalize on the north easterly views, aspect and cool summer breezes as well as to provide a comfortable buffer from the very quiet no through road. There’s a double carport between the road and the house and you enter this home across a great 3.5 x 12m covered verandah that begs you to stop for a while.

Inside the design is simple and the walls are all gyprock or timber clad. There’s an open plan living area with a slow combustion log burner for those cool winter nights, opening onto two covered deck areas that enjoy magnificent views with mountain glimpses and those glorious cool north east breezes in summertime, straight from the Pacific Ocean to you. The old polished timber floors add to the character of this unique property and of course the position is a big winner.

The kitchen is small and basic with single sink, gas cooktop and oven, limited bench space, reasonable cupboard space and two good sets of pantry shelves. The bathroom/laundry/toilet has feature timber walls, a small timber vanity and slate tiles on the floor, with the shower over a good sized bath, laundry tub and washing machine taps in one corner and the toilet in another.
