Offering an overwhelming sense of peace and privacy on the lower slopes, this interesting 1960's home designed by Maurice Hunt presents buyers with a rare opportunity to reside in a superbly crafted abode which has been proudly cherished by one owner since they bought the section in one of the first subdivisions.
The classically designed interior currently exhibits soothing natural tones and elements of timeless style, and an area where this is showcased is upon entry where your eye will be drawn to the curved timber ceiling.
There's a blend of casual and formal living areas which are incredibly inviting and again display further warming timber features and built-in custom furniture, with the cornered window seat luring you over to put your feet up and relax on lazy afternoons. The formal lounge has a gas fire and pelmet lights for ambience with spotlights for art work. French doors open out onto the patio.
Occupying the upper level is a media room which was thoughtfully added to the property around 25 years ago, and this represents yet another living area with a built-in desk and cabinetry where you can truly remove yourself and unwind to the panoramic view which encompasses Mt Hutt and the Kaikoura Ranges as well as the city and the estuary.
There's a selection of alfresco areas that wrap around the property and comprise a stunning ornamental grape vine covering the pergola, a verandah, a neatly landscaped garden, a sheltered bricked patio and areas of decking. The upstairs hardwood roof deck provides you with an abundance of incredibly private backdrops where you can soak up the sun from sunrise to sunset and the serene surrounds.
Accommodation is offered by four bedrooms which share three bathrooms, and an array of heating options includes a gas fire, heat pump and partial double glazing.
Located on a prime corner section with just one neighbouring property, the property includes a lower park like lawn which is a wonderful play area for children whilst also great open access for parking a boat or caravan.
This home enjoys the privacy that comes with such a position and is a short drive from the flourishing hub of Ferrymead and the coastline which will direct you to the sandy shores of Sumner Beach. Also handy to the bus stop and is within walking distance and in the Mt Pleasant school (decile 10).
Our owners are now reluctantly downsizing off the hill after 50 happy years here.
