ISLAND BAY CHARM CLOSE TO BEACH
This four-bedroom beachside character home is a picturesque gem that abounds in sun, space and charm. Meticulously maintained and supremely appealing, it's as old world as it is up-to-date in a lovely setting that's just minutes from the beach and a short stroll from the village shops, cafes and cinema that make Island Bay such an iconic community. Features include:
- Three double-bedrooms (two with built-in wardrobes) and a large single with polished floorboards and a pretty garden view that would be perfect for working from home
- Full bathroom with separate bath and shower as well as the convenience of a second toilet off a large laundry with loads of storage
- Fastidiously maintained and upgraded, from modern wiring and improved insulation to near-new hot water cylinder and heat pump, to a recently reconditioned roof and a refreshed, recarpeted interior, there's nothing to do but revel in the presentation
- Refurbished kitchen with updated appliances that's open-plan with a living/dining room where you can throw open the French doors to unwind or dine on the private, sunny deck
- Single garage with underground wiring to the house, motorised door with new seal, and external lights for peace-of-mind security, with power in place should the new owners wish to install an EV fast-charging unit
- Colourful, easy-to-tend garden that's fully-fenced with flat lawn and roses, natives and exotics, a vegetable patch, and both yuzu and Meyer lemon trees
- Superbly located for summer: it's near Shorland Park, you can walk to the beach in your togs, and there are two reserves on the doorstep as well as walkways and mountain bike trails in the vicinity
- Family-friendly proximity to bus routes, schools and shops while being just around the corner from the Island Bay Festival in February
This is the kind of family home people dream about buying in Island Bay, with a level of excellence as unbeatable as the location. Don't miss open home viewings.
